what are you supposed to do if your dream characters ignore you?

What do you mean by ignore you.. they act like you're invisible or they simply refuse to speak to you?

I've had this happen and I usually move on in the dream to some other area. I suppose I should have stayed and figured out a way to make them pay attention to me but I didn't want to waste lucid dream time trying to interact with characters who obviously didn't want anything to do with me. Same as in real life, if someone ignores me I simply move on to more interesting things.

This is likely representative of your waking life. Do you feel that there is anyone in your waking life that will not respond to your attempts to reach them or communicate with them?

Try different approaches - don't do the same thing twice.

Also, if all fails, sometimes it is best to just give them space and wait for them to come to you. Do not let them always be in control - keep the ball in your court. Take your time and keep the door open to them.

What do you think...?

well yeah, ok but why won't they just talk to me if i want them too?
surely everything in our dreams is controllable?

Yes, but I think this is very likely to be representative of a sense of resistance you are experiencing in life in general. Do you agree..?
