It is not about controlling the dream but of having control within the dream. There is a point within the dream that beyond knowing that I am dreaming I can have instances of consciousness in decision making as to what I want to do in the dream and where I want to go. Problem being that just then when I'm about to initiate a personal voluntary action within the dream I begin waking up, sometimes gradually but most often abruptly, like being ripped out of the place I know I was in.
