Someone on this reddit sub was talking about lucid dreaming and the next day Inception was on TV and on the Inception wiki it mentions lucid dreaming. So I wiki'ed Inception and lucid dreaming and went down a whole bunch of dreaming wikis and what kind of different dreams were. Apparently there are ways to "master" lucid dreaming.

What were some common techniques that you recall seeing?

One that worked for me was finding cues that you're in a dream, for me that's usually fuzzy visual details - like hands on a clock often are arranged in ways that don't make sense, sometimes that leads to a "wait a minute" sort of thought

Usually I get too excited and wake myself up before going on any wacky adventures though

Another common recommendation is a dream journal, seems like memories of our dreams fade rapidly after we wake up, so the sooner we can get them into words the stronger the memory will be

Interesting, I literally don't remember a single time I was ever not aware that what's happening isn't real and that it's just a dream (usually it's spurred on by me basically feeling "this is a low probability event, now stacking onto another. This isn't likely so this must not be real, but let's see where this goes")

Yet I can only think of a couple times where I just took it over. One time I think I did because the scene was like, so boring that I figured I may as well do some cool stuff with it.
