I believe that your dreams are merely memories of things you've already seen or experienced, though they don't always make sense when portrayed in the dream, often times jumbled or mixed together, but don't quote me on that. I would say that Sartre's idea that dreams are controlled by the conscious mind could come from the state of sleep where you are somewhere between unconscious and conscious of what you are dreaming about; essentially that state between awake and asleep where you do have a certain amount of control over what it is you are dreaming about. Or he could be thinking that the thoughts you have before falling asleep affect the dreams you have during the course of the night, but again I would say you have to be in the state of being between fully asleep and partially awake in order to remember any dream you have if you're trying to make sense of it in terms of Sartre's ideas.
