To an extent, you can. You can seed your mind with certain thoughts on a regular basis before falling asleep. Or you can learn how to do lucid dreaming.

A different answer:

You cannot force yourself to have a specific dream because dreaming is a function of your unconscious mind. Your will, that part of you that wants to have a certain dream, is your conscious mind, and these two different mental states are quite separate.

> As stated above, it is possible to "seed" or "incubate" a certain topic to increase the likelihood of dreaming about it. For example, you might want to dream about the winning lotto numbers. However, even if you succeed in dreaming about the lottery, you won't necessarily have a dream that clearly shows the winning numbers. You might dream of your grandmother winning, or see thousands of lottery cards floating on the ocean, or find yourself running endlessly toward the lotto jackpot without ever reaching it. This is because your unconscious mind is not at all interested in creating a dream to please your conscious mind, but instead, has its own purpose. Your unconscious might use the topic you "seed," but will present it according to its own purposes.

> Lucid dreaming is much the same. You might be one of those who are able to become aware (conscious / lucid ) while dreaming, and learn to take control of the events in your dreams. Unfortunately, most individuals discover that the claims about lucid dreaming found on the internet and in other media are vastly exaggerated.
