Thank you for the upvotes.
I asked the question, about the potential to anticipate dreams on a whim.
Personally, i cannot recall a time I've ever anticipated sleep-dreams.
Might the experiences of anticipating dreams be closely related to previous experiences with lucid dreaming?

Heh, well I would say I have my doubts that it's even possible, and yet, what *isn't* possible with dreaming?
Though, I guess some reoccurring dreams would fit; if an aware dreamer has a couple of similar dreams that feel like repetitions, they might anticipate another of the same type or in the series enough that it happens, at least partly *because* of the anticipation of it. Hmm, our problem becomes seeing enough patterns to know whether or not this is possible. If you want to run an experiment, you could (if sleep patterns allow) find a topic and think of it in meaningful ways just before you sleep; fill your head with it each night just to see if you can prompt a dream with a certain amount of similarities. It'd probably be disruptive of sleep, so I'd only suggest it to someone who can afford that disruption, but would be an interesting bit of self-research (almost like pre-lucid dreaming or steering). Just to see if you can "pick a topic" for the dream world to react to.

in my case the answer is no. although ,very rarely. i have had the same person recurring in a dream. this is very rare. it has only happened once or twice. but i have had recurring themes but not usually,recurring people. when i do it is people who i actually did know in life. but as to anticipating my dreams, negative, i never know what i will dream about.

I love dreaming more then being awake, some times its exactly what i thinknitll be... and other times... im surprised by what shows up, some times it takes months for me to process part of them.
But yes i some times anticipate certain dreams rising up specially when im going through things.
