I experienced that indeed you can make 'real decisions' from time to time, while understanding somehow that you're sleeping at that moment or remember scenarios/situations you've been already in real life or another dream. Though, I'd say the consequences taking place after doing/creating something, again fall back to subconsciousness processes, at least in my case.
And as far as I understand the workings of the human brain I doubt it was possible to build up a complex world and all ongoings like that (in real time, so to speak).
For example, there's only a minor amount of incoming "data" processed by the human brain. The very most of it will be filtered not ever making it to become part of our conscious reality. It's like you're watching at a sky scraper for about ten seconds so you've viewed any bit of the visible side of that building. Now tell how much windows are there.
This is impossible for a "normal" human and if this wasn't the case, humanity wouldn't have made it this far. Imagine how you would hunt for some animal while you truly realise any single leave on any single tree. You couldn't focus on anything anymore. There's a few people on earth which are blessed/cursed by not having such a filter. They could tell the amount of windows, but they can't deal with a "regular" life.
This makes me doubt someone can generate more data than he's able to receive at a time.
BTW:
As far as I know, everybody has a period in his life when this filter is adjusted, while the brain is 're-organised' completely, which takes part along puberty.
Now you can blame this temporary "data-overkill" for beeing such a "difficult kid" at this time. ;)
