I won't to preface this with that I've been fascinated with the idea is lucid dreaming ever since I was in middle school (29 now) but have always struggled to do it.
Anyways, I've noticed many people talking about "dream characters" and I found that interesting because when I successfully lucid dream, suddenly everyone is gone. Either its a crowd that quickly rushes away, or I look around and when I look back the people are gone. I don't know why this is, and for some reason before joining this sub I was convinced that was totally normal for lucid dreaming. I also rarely have any real control, I'm totally aware I'm dreaming, but it's like I'm on auto pilot and all I can do is suggest actions to my body that I don't seem to control.
I don't really have any questions, just wanted to share this observation.
If anyone has any insight as to why that might happen to me, I would love to hear it.
