So, I usually don't lucid dream. I didn't manage to get my RCs right and many techniques have failed me, but last night I became lucid when I played with my android in the dream and found that it had one display on each side. Surprisingly this worked great, perhaps I'll put more use to that but this isn't about that.

Basicly, when I became lucid I was around a bunch of people I grew up with in school. We all spent 6 years together but nowadays we don't know each other. I've heard of people controlling other people in dreams and all that but I tried to simply talk to one of them. I showed her my "powers", told her I could change shape into anything she wanted and take her anywhere she wanted to go. I had no control over her at all and it's like she had her own personality. Like she was an actual person. She'd surprise me with things she said but otherwise stayed "in character" of what I remember her like.

So, how do you guys handle other people in dreams? Do you try to take control of them or give them free will?

Also, related question... do "characters" with free will ever get crazy?
