I've had two dreams recently where I've said to myself in the dream, "Huh. That's weird, I must be dreaming." but afterwards the dream continues on like normal. I know I'm not giving you a lot to go on, but, any help here?

Do you mean that you wern't aware that you were dreaming the entire dream?
I wasn't aware even though I had realized, in dream, I was dreaming.Quote:

Yeah, thanks. :)Quote:

Hm, another thing, you know how sometimes we answer to stuff in waking, and when we do, we don't even know what we answered to or what we answered... I would say its pretty similar, saying "I'm dreaming" =/= "knowing I'm dreaming"
You could use intention setting to help target your in-dream awareness and response. If you have dreams where you recognize you are dreaming but fail to perform a reality check or become lucid, spend some time before bed remembering yourself in that position. Rather than seeing yourself continue the dream unconsciously, imagine yourself performing a reality check after recognizing you are dreaming.
Hopefully this will help you remember to capitalize on your momentary recognition and become lucid in future dreams :)
It's not so uncommon to dream you are lucid without being lucid at all. Read about that many times and experienced it a few times, too.
