Can We Choose What to Dream Tonight?

Recently, I read a very interesting article in the WSJ which discusses the idea of directing your own dreams, with individuals sharing their experiences of influencing their dream scenarios.

The article may be behind a paywall for some people- but if you can’t read it the audio is on the WSJ website:

Basically the article covers the topic of Lucid Dreaming. While some people claim they have successfully directed their dreams, others like the author’s mother found no success. Notably, only 10% to 20% of people are regular lucid dreamers, and the benefits of directing dreams are debated.

Have anyone here tried it? Do you believe the ability to lucid dream is innate or can be cultivated with practice?
