Not sure what to call this but every time I dream this always happens and I almost never recognize it until later when I dream recall. Basically, a good example is what happened in my latest dream. My grandma was coming at me with a knife and somehow it came apart and I tried blocking her from stabbing me, and when the other piece broke off it pierced her skin but as she was stabbed it was "no longer" my grandma and instead my mother. This is where "the switch" comes into play.

When things just magically change and you don't recognize it. What do we call this? It's strange that we don't become lucid because my grandma even "awoke" and started coming down the stairs after I told her to call 9-11 after my mother was stabbed when it was actually her to begin with.

If you've had this happen before, did you become lucid and what was your experience with it?
