I see, hear, feel, taste and smell in my dreams and I can control them but choose not to usually.
Humans, human faces and human voices are still often lacking or lacking in detail though. I'm certain that's my autism. Edit: And I see no reason to dream of people when I can dream of other intelligent creatures and have always done so. I've never dreamt of people as a child, I rarely do now.
All my dream are also cool, fast-paced, violent and creepy action. Others call these nightmares but I adore them.

I really do like to analyze my dreams, and I did a few papers on dream dictionaries, and I really liked Betty Bethards' Dream Dictionary. She was a mystic, but Jung was her major inspiration it seems. Either way, her website had mentioned some interesting things regarding people in dreams, and that page is no longer there or I can't find it again. The website used to also have a phone number to Betty's husband who'd help you analyze your dreams, but it is no longer there either. But, between the old site and what her husband said, people are all aspects of yourself. I think animals are that way too, so I guess it's only a preference thing for you. Now, celebrities were supposed to be something different, and I forget what that was. But faces you can't make out are supposed to be your higher self like the inner guru, meaning whatever that person has to say or show is of great importance. And to dream of those who passed on is supposed to be actually talking and visiting with them.
Anyway, she also says that controlling the dream is bad because we aren't listening to what God, or our higher selves, are trying to tell us.
I really just found her by accident. I wanted a dream dictionary and picked hers from the shelf at a bookstore. Then I used it a lot in my Psyc papers because I already had it and it was convenient. That dictionary just really seems to be right on with a lot of my dreams (not all of them). But as I get to know her and her husband better, some of the things I've read or heard are pretty crazy to me, but I can't let it discredit the dictionary because that dictionary was so accurate in the past. So, now that you got your warning about the crazy stuff, the links are as follows...
Her website is http://www.innerlight.org/index.html
and a cool page on dream Q & A is
http://www.innerlight.org/page7.html |

I have never been able to control my dreams. I have had dreams that were almost "lucid" but the moment I tried to be "awake" inside the dream, I lost it.
I have very vivid and colorful dreams...but only sometimes...lately I have not been able to remember them for some reason beyond just a few moments after waking up.
I dream a lot about strange scenarios involving the few people I am closest to. Sometimes I dream about certain animals...like an albino female moose rising up out of a pool of water....or an aggressive golden squirrel climbing all over me...
Sometimes I will have disturbing dreams that are not exactly nightmares because they don't invoke that kind of emotional response in me..but disturbing nonetheless..
last night I dreamed that my good friend was a frail-comatose old woman who seemed very close to death and she had long red hair and was wearing a lot of makeup...then she sat up and sorta wiped the visage away..and transformed into my friend...(this is my ASish friend who has gender identity issues)
I dreamed shortly after Michael Jackson's death that MJ was a teenaged girl who was regularly molested by her father.

i have all 5 senses in my dreams and sometimes can control them. they almost always have to do with one of my obsessions. let alone some are nothing but me in a giant world of nothing but things for me to stim with. i wish i could die in my sleep a lot of times and get stuck in the dream world,
anyone else here have the wish to die in their sleep sometimes?
my obsessions are
powerchairs, assistive technology, stock market, neurological diseases and disabilities, autism, sensory integration disorder, stimming, medical, photography, genetics, videography, disabilities, ventilators
my sensory based obsessions (due to my sensory integration disorder, a part of my autism certain things relax me or otherwise make me feel happy) are straps, blood pressure cuffs, tight warm things and places, deep pressure, being mummy wrapped, tight hugs, lead aprons, latex, PVC, rubber, silky, neoprene, nylon, rubberized nylon, slobbery kisses, leather, sticky mud, clay, quicksand anything of the likes

My dreams tend to be visual, sometimes with audio but sometimes without, and sometimes with the sense of touch. Rarely with the sense of taste. I don't think I've ever had a dream with a sense of smell.
In ones without audio, I/people/whatever still can still "talk" or whatever, but instead of "hearing" it, it's sort of like... telepathy.
I mostly have no control over my dreams, but sometimes I can give them a little nudge in a certain direction.

Ooooh, you get to continue a dream the next night?? XD That's so cool. I have to get VERY lucky for that to happen. (I have some control, but not enough to answer the poll as "do have control".) Mine are always visual. (Usually excessively over-the-top visual, heh) I guess there's some sound, but I can't really remember anything specifically, besides talking. Even when things explode, I can't remember if they make sound. Hmm, that's weird, I never thought about it before but now I'll be paying more attention to the sound when I dream. XD
Text gets all jumbled in my dreams, so I don't think a text dream would work for me.

I can continue the dream, too, if I want to.

| So everyone, do people's mouths move when they talk to you, or is it almost telepathy? |
