i taught myself to lucid dream pretty young (~8) and subsequently took advantage. lucid dreaming is kind of like focusing, like you know the feeling you get when you just get to work after you’ve commuted when you’re finally conscious again after you zoned out in your commute, that’s kinda the feeling when you start lucid dreaming. anyway, so i was in this dream when i was probably 15 and it was a chipmunk war of some sort except i was a chipmunk (the details aren’t really important) but i was like ok time to start having agency but my body wouldn’t let me. like i literally could not force my body to do something. it was the most surreal experience bc i could think and i knew i was in a dream but i literally could not control my body and i couldn’t wake up and when i finally did i almost started crying it was so fucking insane and odd. it hasn’t happened since and i can’t really find anyone else who has had a similar experience online. anyway something devious happens that night.
