> dream gets incredibly boring after you get control of it

Wouldn’t go that far. But you have to consciously make it interesting by creating the weirdness.

Maybe it works differently for different people, but I found my creativity incredibly limited once I got the control of the dream. It's like everything just stopped and I could do whatever I wanted, but nothing in the environment reacted to the things I did, just stopped working.

Are your other characters still sentient? Or do they go ragdoll?

They just go ragdoll. The whole world just stops generating anything new. It's really weird and I stopped trying to "wake up" within the dream because it just gets damn boring instantly.
