Free Will when dreaming
Do you guys feel like you have free will when you are dreaming?
Like as in, when you are dreaming, you feel like your actions and choices in your dreams are things that you would/did actually do or choose when in whatever dream situation you're in.
Im wondering because,
I've always felt like I've always had a good consistent amount of control of myself in my dreams. Even though I have never really had control of the dream environment itself nor really been lucid while dreaming, because when I become aware I am dreaming, I force myself to wake up.
When dreaming, it just feels like instead of thinking about things, I just do the first thing that comes to my mind immediately. Like scary thing= run/fight. So while my thought process isnt exactly like how it is IRL, I still feel like all of my dream actions are 'mine'.
But whenever I talk to someone about their dreams, they seem to describe it as if they were forced to do the things in their dreams. Like they have no control.
So i was wondering about that
