You CAN actually control what you are going to dream of. An experiment people try is to get a problem. A riddle would be nice. Just memorize the riddle in your head before you go to sleep. Keep thinking of the riddle until you fall asleep. Even though it may not seem like it, the dream you dream that night could actually be the answer to the riddle.
The last time I truly had a lucid dream was when I was a young child.
I remember, in the dream, I was playing outside of my apartment. I asked my mom if I was dreaming. She then said "Yes, you are dreaming. Make the most of it before you wake up". I don't remember much of the specifics anymore, but I'm sure I had a kick ass dream for a young child ;D
I'm sure that this doesn't pertain to lucid dreaming, but I've found if I watch an episode of the old show Knight Rider right before bed, I'll re-live the whole episode in my dream. It happened once...then I experimented twice. Each time it happened o_o
God, here goes another kid that thinks he's the don of lucid dreaming and he knew about it before inception
