Then stop doing it. I have never heard of people who unwillingly lucid dream constantly, since it is something you have to induce yourself.
Nipplemelter 说:
Indeed. Your mind shuts your body down so that it doesn't respond to what it's dreaming. During the switch (which happens several times per night) between REM sleep and delta sleep, the body ceases to be paralysed which allows us to do such things as turn over in bed and push the quilts off when it's too hot.
I sincerely doubt that what was happening in post #1 was lucid dreaming. As far as I know, lucid dreaming requires actual dreaming to happen, which (in a healthy mind) usually happens after about 90 minutes of light-deep delta sleep.
Of course, to somebody with a sleeping disorder (insomnia) or other mental problem, they could experience brief periods of what appear to be like dreams if they close their eyes for a minute, but AFAIK these are more akin to hallucinations arising from sleep deprivation than actual dreams.
I've tried it several times, but it didn't work for me.
Either that or I forget everything the moment I actually wake up.

Wait, does the picture in OP suggest that people normally can't control their dreams?
Am I weird for being able to do so whenever I want to?

I'm thinking yes...
A few weeks ago I actually had a (lucid?) dream I was aware and awake. I knew it was a dream. I could control my actions.
but it did not last for more then what felt like a few minutes. I said "lucid?" earlier because although I was conscious of my whereabouts I could not control anything.
Blead 说:
If you forget everything, then it was not a lucid dream. In order to dream lucidly, you need to be able to remember your dreams; that is the whole point.
Oh, in that case I rarely have them. (I suppose you can get them on accident?) I never really focused on getting them until I saw a article about it somewhere.
"While it is very rare, it is possible to forget about a lucid dream."
You can have a lucid dream without realizing it, or even dream with some degree of lucidity, without it being a "true" lucid dream. The attraction of having lucid dreams is that, although you are in a dream, it feels almost exactly like reality and you have to use "reality checks" to make sure that you are in fact dreaming. In order to get to that point, you need to be able to recall your dreams very well, so it is difficult to unintentionally dream like that, or so my understanding is.

Who cares? Still just a dream.
