My best friend is obsessed with zombies too, he was one of the first people to read zombie survival guide. Isn't there a new zombie movie coming out?
Zombies are awesome xD
Lucid dream IS being able to be somewhat in control of your dreams. They are very vivid and you usually can remember every detail. It's basically having your mind awake in a dream.
I never had a lucid dreaming.
I have had nightmares where I realized I was dreaming though, and I would purposely hit my self on the head so I could try and wake up. It usually worked after a couple minutes of trying.

@(you need an account to see links) I wouldnt hit myself when I wanted to wake lol I use to have Freddie Kruger dreams when I was young and I would say repeatedly "please wake up" and it usually worked.
Lucid dreaming isn't ALL controlling your dreams. You can still have a lucid dream and not control any of it. Try again.
Lucid dreaming is the only exception to dreams being an unconscious process. In lucid dreaming you are consciously aware of your dream and you can act in it, however that conscious effect only takes place if parts of your brain are activated when they should not be. REM sleep is the reason the dreams are so vivid, so technically speaking you are awakening during REM but contrary to the norm of not being able to remember that REM dream (technically you remember far fewer REM sleep dreams), the lucid dreaming and the activation of the brain area allows for the conscious aspect and hence the active 'memory' of that occurring dream. Lucid dreaming is rare, very rare. Everyday dreaming you should not have any control over beyond getting lucky with a short term memory instance of whatever you thought of prior to falling asleep. Whatever is sitting more recently in your short term memory (if you think of math right before you fall asleep that is the last thing on your mind and hence the most recent memory formed) is basically the most likely to be 'recalled' and hence why people may dream of math for instance if that is the last thing they think of. Other than that by definition you cannot really control your unconscious dreams. Nerve firing is in a random pattern which will light your brain up like a Christmas tree with activity (do not take that literally, your brain does not actually flash colors lol) this is why you dream random nonsense things like a monkey on a unicycle throwing popcorn at your friend. Your brain is literally firing at such random points that a bit of the visual center is firing like mad and hence the very visual scene, then your amygdala may fire and you are anxious in your dream, then your frontal lobe goes nuts because in your dream you are flailing your arms. Whatever it may be it is still a random pattern of high activity, in fact it is said that your brain is more active during sleep than during the day. You have no real control over what you dream or you would simply say "no stupid dreams tonight" and all would be said and done lol. I would love to manipulate them if I could though, I have some pretty messed up ones about always being chased and that puts me in a panic when I wake up.
