For a few years now I've wondered if I'm sometimes aware on a subconsciuos level or at the back of my consciuos mind that I'm dreaming and as a result don't think about it to become lucid. Some dreams become lucid spontaneously for mo apparant reason and some because I mention it to a DC in conversation, the latter telling me that I was aware but not thinking about it.

A recent event really got me thinking though. A while ago I started using telekenesis in LD's. Since this, I occasionally do it in non-lucids, I have roughly the same skill level and method. Its almost as if I've taught my subconscious that it can be done in a dream and now its used in regular dreams. I had a dream a few weeks ago where I was in a room full of people and I was demonstrating telekenesis to them, but wouldn't tell them how I did it. A bit later when I was walking around outside, I saw one of the people who was there earlier, I asked her if she would like to know how I used telekenesis. She said yes and was very curious, I told her that it was because it was my dream. That dream became lucid then. It's also an example of what I said earlier about how I sometimes casually tell a DC I'm dreaming without thinking it to myself before.

I don't really know what to make of it all though. Was I lucid at the very back of my conscious mind? Am I often like this? Really makes me wonder. I sometimes have non-lucids where something doesn't go to plan and I rewind time to "try again".

Another point would be if there is some awareness of dreaming without actually thinking about it, could this be harnessed somehow to get more lucids?
