I need help with interpreting this strange dream.

Okay so here's how the dream was:

I walked into this room where there were these pods. I sat down in one pod and a variety of other people sat in the other pods. I then went into a dream, (It was sorta like the movie, Inception when you think about the devices they used to go into the dream but they were pods that you could lay in instead). When I went into the dream, I was lucid with control. I went out of the dream because the Pod I was in ran out of time or something. I did this about 3 times, each time I went into the dream I would be lucid with control and then when I went out of it, it would just be another regular dream meaning I wouldn't know that I was dreaming nor did I have control.

Now in the dream I tried to do the process for a fourth time. This time I got a pop up in front of me saying I got banned from using the machine because I was using a hacking device.

So, is it normal to be constantly going in and out of lucidity in a dream over and over?

The pods could represent individiual paths that different people take. You sat down in your pod(path) and others sat in theirs. I've never experienced a dream going in and out of lucidity.. usually once my lucidity runs out I wake up. The lack of control could represent something in your life that you feel you have no control over. If you're running out of time, perhaps you feel your time in this world is too short to get anything done. Though I can wake up for a brief second, and fall right back into lucid on rare occasions.

Note that each time I went into a dream using the pod they were different. My dream character would imagine the dream scene he would want to go into and then press a button on the pod.

Maybe I found a new way to change my dream scene. o-o
