you can make yourself lucid dream. you have to be disciplined and work at it, but you can do it with enough effort.
i once did this some 7 or 8 years ago. it took months, and i kept track of my dreams and maintained very specific sleep hygiene. at first, it seemed hopeless. before too long, i was aware of when i was dreaming but really unable to control the dreams like i wanted. soon enough, i could make anything i want happen in my dreams.
lately though, i've been dreaming that i do stuff that i haven't. i can't tell you how many times i have fed the chickens in my sleep only to wake up and realize that i have not fed the chickens, i just dreamed it. it's kinda weird.
