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?

    Never. Once I realize I am dreaming, I can act on my own. I try not to disturb or actively control the dream world though, always want to explore it.
