Ever Narrated Your Own Dreams?
Last night was the very first night I tried lucid dreaming after reading the website. I started a dream journal and was amazingly able to remember three dreams on my very first try. The third dream was a WBTB in the early morning, and the dream is written in my journal as this:
The dream begins looking through a rusty metal pipe. The field of view zooms out until I see a cartoon/animated street and two very small "people" walking on the sidewalk towards the left of my vision. One of the "people" is really just a cylinder with a face, I would assume 5 inches tall based on the size of the sidewalk. Following him is a corn-cob with a face. It has big lips so I assume it is a female. The corncob walks up to the cylinder and asks, "Can I balance on top of you?" after which it promptly hops on top of the cylinder and they begin walking to the right. My vision pans very artificially to the right as they walk up the street which is now a sharp incline. When they get to the top, my vision becomes 3D. There is a large human baby playing with a manhole cover with chocolate pudding all over its face. The cylinder asks the baby "Which way is the farthest direction?" The baby does not answer, but the corncob, still on top of the cylinder, says "Down!" at which point I, being basically a "camera" and not feeling like a character at all, say "Up!" Then my phone rings and I wake up.
The odd part of the dream, however, is that I was not a character, but more like I was doing the voice-overs of the animated characters. I decided what each of them would say consciously. Every time they said something, I was essentially speaking it through their voices, as I could feel my own mouth moving and see their mouths moving. Somehow I was consciously deciding what they would say and at the end I finally butted in as myself to say "UP!"
Has anyone ever had the experience where they were literally thinking about and deciding what everyone was saying, consciously, even when you don't think you were having a lucid dream (I never at any point realized specifically that I was dreaming)? Or is it just a regular dream?
