Are our thoughts truly our own?

In life everything is constantly changing and in movement. 
The tides, climate, people, the planets, our thoughts and ideas.  All are collectively acting out as a large blob (so to speak) in constant stream creating different random electromagnetic spurts of energy that all (collectively) behave in total synchronicity and chaos and the same time. 

Confused?  So, am I.  Especially when that very thought was apparently sprouted from this very same blob called consciousness.

So, what is consciousness?

"Human consciousness is just about the last surviving mystery. A mystery is a phenomenon that people don't know how to think about - yet.” Daniel C. Dennett (Consciousness Explained)

• Is it a constant stream of energy, thoughts, ideas, feelings, people, and emotions amongst other invisible energies all supercharged waiting for their next point of contact or distribution?
• If our lives are a constant stream of downloads from consciousness are our thoughts truly ours?

And if so, who is in charge of our minds?
