i've had some dreams where i feel no control over my actions, but know it is a dream
for example if a murderer is running at me, i know that if he catches up to me i'll go into another dream, but still won't be able to control myself. if a person is coming at me and i know i'll die if they touch me, i'll be stupid and get myself killed even though i'm screaming in my mind to not do it
it's hard for me to explain, dreams are confusing
