I've seen claims that the dreams are less visually complex. However the other parts still stand, is a a controlled dream really an involuntary process? Is the visualization process when you close your eyes and before you go to sleep "involuntary" in the same ways dreams are "involuntary".

I don't know how visually complex phantasic dreams are, but my dreams as an aphantasic person are sensually just like real life.

It's called hypnagogia, and is indeed involuntary.
