I do on occasion and it is very similar to when I'm lucid, just I'm not consciously making the decisions. For example, the other night I had a dream where somebody ran up behind me. I heard them, turned around and used some sort of telekinesis and pushed them backwards, causing them to fall over. I've done this before in a lucid and they felt very similar, the only difference was that I was not lucid during this dream. |

I experience non-lucid dream control almost every time I dream. It's not always to a great extent though. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

Have questions about lucid dreaming? DM me.
I do frequently. I often shapeshift, fly, use super jumping and super strength, use telekinesis, etc. in non-lucids. I also make use of the belief system "consciously" (for the dreaming mind). That is to say, my non-lucid mind still treats the dream like a dream where it has control. It all feels exactly the same as when I'm lucid, in fact when I become lucid it's not even so much a realization that I'm dreaming as it is more of a feeling that I already knew that all along but chose to ignore it up until that point. |
|
All the time, it's rare and strange that I don't. I just react without a thought, wheres in a fully lucid dream I usually think about what is going on and do things that I would not do otherwise. I call them semi-lucid because I unconsciously understand I can control everything around me. |
|
I do occasionally, but it is becoming more frequent. Aside from dream powers such as telepathy, telekinesis, or shooting energy from my hands, I also experience a more subtle dream control. I will think that I would like something to happen and it does. Sometimes it is as simple as wanting to talk to someone on the other side of the room and then he walks up to me; other times it's more dramatic like thinking it would be cool to have an under water house, and suddenly there is water outside my windows. |

Yeah, and it's WEIRD when I wake up! Like there was one time where I was in an old-style computer store and I jumped 10 or 15 feet up onto the top shelf and started tossing these massive [22"?] CRTs (tube monitors) onto the floor like cardboard boxes, smashing them to pieces. Already that's three counts against physics. Then mom told me to make sure that I reset them as they were when I was done. My reply? "Sure thing, ma!" |

Try to imagine a life without timekeeping. You probably can’t. You know the month, the year, the day of the week; you have a schedule, a calendar... Yet all around you, timekeeping is ignored. Birds are not late. A dog does not check its watch. Deer do not fret over passing birthdays. Man alone measures time. Man alone chimes the hour. And, because of this, man alone suffers a paralyzing fear that no other creature endures.
A fear of time running out.
Actually, when I am non-lucid I have better control when compared to low-level lucids.. (I'm still trying to get the hang of having a controlled, detailed LD, so it's, I guess, understandable. ) An example: recently I dreamt of being in a restaurant with a friend, when my lighter started to smoke, on the point of blowing up, I went out on the street, threw it in the snow, shouting to passers-by to stay away from the lit lighter I hurled snow at it then until it turned into a sort of .. um.. snowy volcano, glowing from the inside. Then I somehow came to the conclusion I could've just used a water charm all along, next thing you know, I was brandishing a wand, being able to control a current of water quite precisely, guiding it through the air. |

My non-lucid control always entails me doing stupid things that I probably wouldn't choose to do in a lucid dream. I always forget about my tasks. |
|
Yes, for example, if it happens that someone really annoys me in a (nonlucid) dream, then I often think 'well whatever, this is a dream, if I ignore him he'll just dissapear'. Weird enough, I don't actually realize that I'm dreaming in that situation. As people have said before me, this is what I refer to as semi-lucid |

All the time. Whenever I'm being harmed, I somehow know it won't destroy me. Most of the time I am able to be invisible to other DCs and not even realize I'm dreaming but I am very convinced that they can't see me since I have the power to shield myself. |

Rarely happens, for me. Although in two dreams this week, non-lucid control actually helped me become lucid. I was on a toppling platform, hoping I'd float instead of fall, and I did. Then I realized I was dreaming, and was instantly transported to a rooftop, the scene of my current dream goal (become a crow, fly around with the crows in my neighborhood). Interestingly, in other lucid dreams I had difficulty transforming, but in this one it was a piece of cake! |

Excellent question, Nomad! |
|
I'm able to use all my lucid powers to the same extent I can in a lucid. However the scenario when I need to use my powers isn't always in my favor and I sometimes doubt myself. |
