In almost all of my lucid dreams so far I have virtually no control. If I try to talk to someone they completely ignore me, if I try to do something I'm unable to for one reason or another. If I try to move in one direction I'm pulled to the other.
In my last dream I saw 3 animals holding signs with very simple phrases on them. I decided to test the idea that letters won't stay stable and words will change if you stare too long or look away and back (I wanted to see this in action because I've tried it in dream RCs and it never works). As soon as I decided to do that I unwillingly rotated around the room where I couldn't see the signs and then the signs disappeared altogether. I tried to redirect it but the dream ended.
I've tried demanding clarity and light. I've tried doing some dream stabilization. How else can gain control?
