Lucid Movie?

[Crueldeer]

I was wondering if this was normal. what i have noticed in my 3 lds is that i knew i was dreaming and i had control of things and even once it was first person, but they almost seemed to be movies that i was living. I wasnt really controlling my actions i was just almost playing a role is this just something that happens at low levels of lucidity

My guess is that, that's correct. You can't control yourself yet you know it's a dream?

That can happen, at least I can second this. I had some dreams where I knew it was a dream, but things just happened and when I tried to control something (e.g. repeat a "scene" to change the plot) I started to get stuck and woke up in the end. Then there were dreams where I knew it was a dream and had full control about everything, could create anything and do anything. And of course there is the wide range between those two extremes.

My low-level lucids are just like you described. Almost like you're a DC in your own dream. Try to focus on your surroundings and assert that it's YOUR dream and that YOU are in control, that always helps me.

I've experienced low-level movie-like lucid dreams. They were kind of bizarre and all colors seemed to be washed out, almost like I was looking at everything from behind a veil.

I had the same thing a while ago, it was like a computer game lucid dream (GTA to be specific).
