I often act as if drunk, or follow the dream plot rather than 100% normal behavior of experimenting in the new environment. I often still act as if the DCs are real people. Also knowing it's a dream you might impulsively do things you normally wouldn't (fight, casual sex or even rape) because you instinctively know "No consequences" and your baser nature might display itself. But in an LD it's always me in there to some degree.
Sorry if it was a bit confusing. I meant that I don't really feel like I'm the one making the decisions. It's almost like I've taken a backseat and someone else is controlling my thoughts and actions. I can feel and see things, but I'm not really 'there', so to speak. Hope that makes sense.
