While you’re overall right, DOS 2 is a terrible exemple for that.

The answers and reactions of those admins is incredibly fishy tho, and I don’t really see a good ending to all that with what’s been documented.

Your experience is anecdotal. There are countless documented cases of people being not only in control while lucid dreaming, but also remembering what they did. It’s just that there is a limit to what you can do in dreams, because they have a purpose and trying to force too much through lucid dreaming ends up damaging your sleep, which your brain will do everything in its power to not let happen.

Lucid dreaming being a thing shatter the whole premise anyway.
