Is it normal that i can control my dreams?

When I am dreaming, I feel like I am in real life. The places in my dreams and the people are identical to those that I've seen in real life but I am aware that I am dreaming. It just feels real because I can taste foods in my dreams, I can smell and the worst is, I get slightly hurt. The best is I can control my dreams. Whenever I make a wish, it comes true. When I tell to people (in my dreams) that I know that I am only dreaming, they stop speaking and make sad faces but I tell them that I still don't want to wake up so that they don't disappear because the last time I told somebody in my dream that I am aware that I am dreaming, everything went black and I woke up. Also, when I close my eyes in my dreams (to sleep or to make a wish) I wake up in real life. It feels like I am in a challenge to know which is reality and which is not and as I get older, I won't know which is which anymore. Is it only me or is it normal?

    It's called lucid dreaming and there is usually some sort of trigger. I've recently been doing a little experiment with using different songs as my alarm and I've found that a quiet song from the 70s doesn't wake me up I can hear it in my dream and I'm having lucid dreams nearly every morning now. I can't figure out how to stay asleep for long though, the spinning on the spot method does nothing for me.

    That sounds quite amazing. I probably wouldn't want to wake up either.
