Last night, I had a dream where I was “Lucid”, except I wasn’t actually in control of my actions. Despite knowing I was dreaming (by doing the pinch test), I couldn’t act however I wanted.

In contrast, in a real lucid dream I had years ago, I knew I was asleep, and could do whatever in my dream until I woke up.

Anyone else have these types of “Fake” lucid dreams? If you do, are they common?

    I’m aware most of my dreams are dreams during them, and my interference tends to be on whether or not I like the narrative being told (or if it makes sense). So, sometimes I end up repeating the same “plot points” over and over again until I find something satisfying (which you can argue means I’m dreaming about making a story instead), other times I’m just “sitting back” and enjoying the show of my own dreams where I’m also most of the time the protagonist.

    So, I guess all the time?
