Last night, I had a dream where I was "Lucid", except I wasn't actually in control of my actions. Despite knowing I was dreaming (by doing the pinch test), I couldn't act however I wanted.

In contrast, in a real lucid dream I had years ago, I knew I was asleep, and could do whatever in my dream until I woke up.

Anyone else have these types of "Fake" lucid dreams? If you do, are they common?

OP knew they were dreaming, which is the main requirement.
