Default Do I have Free Will?

It's hard for me to understand Subjective Reality. When I think of consciousness as just my own human awareness, it's hard for me to accept that I'm the only consciousness and everything I'm aware of is my own creation. But if I think of consciousness as something greater than the human mind, it doesn't make it any easier to grasp. If I'm really a greater consciousness, how come I can't experience any other human minds other than my current one? What makes the most sense to me is that every human is a similar creature. What applies to me should apply to every human. What if we are all the creations of someone else's mind? In that case, do we have free will, or are we just like scripted characters in a book or movie, who have no choices but just act out the part that was created for them?
