I've recently been experiencing DCs that are resistant to my will. Usually, I can make all DCs "pause", stop, disappear, or otherwise control them, but there have been some recently that don't listen to my commands.

Last night for example:

As the Ferris Wheel begins to break apart, I realize that I am dreaming. The world fades to black but I spin to regain lucidity and I am back in the middle of the carnival, it is now daytime but all the lights and crowds are still there, busily moving around. A little girl with cotton candy sticks her tongue out at me.

I am feeling particularly lucid so I decide to try something more advanced. Freezing time has been on my list so I give it a whirl. I clench my fists and everything stops. Very surreal! I begin walking through the frozen people when suddenly I see something dart past my peripheral vision. I turn and see nothing, but then it happens again to my left. I continue catching small glimpses of movement until I realize that they are DCs that have been unaffected by my freeze, and they are trying to evade me. This really spooks me out, as suddenly I get the feeling I am being hunted, or there is something supernatural going on. I try to freeze time again, but I see another blur a few seconds later.

This kind of thing has happened in my last two lucids, in various ways. I will mentally command a DC to come towards me or something of that sort, and they will either ignore me or start mischievously running away.

Has anyone experienced this? Or any theories?
