To dream about having control suggests you have a firm grasp on things in your waking hours.

You seek comfort in implementing a regimented approach to as much as you physically can.
While you may be content with everything being in order- perhaps the dream is telling you to loosen your grip a little.
You can’t control everything and applying this intention to every area of your world might be hindering the more organic aspects of life- your relationships for example.
If you feel that your controlling nature is driving your partner, children, friends, coworkers or family away- it may be wise to exercise some flexibility with these people.
If you think you will struggle to make this change, perhaps some professional help would be beneficial.
Where does your need to control things arise from?
Try to pinpoint what first motivated you to orchestrate everything around you.

Are you involving yourself in someone else’s affairs when it’s not wanted or indeed needed? If so, it might be wise to focus on your own life as this is ultimately what should be the most important thing to you. If you were setting up your own business, perhaps the dream is encouraging you to think about what life might look like if you were to go it alone and not rely on someone else for your wage. Is starting your own business something you have considered before? Or working for yourself? Are you ready to make the break and see where it will take you or do you have things to put in place first?
