It's really hard to explain what I'm trying to ask so I hope you guys get it. What I mean by real time is... you know.. what I'm feeling right now. I'm sitting here typing and I'm thinking to myself that if I was lucid, I would jump out the window and start flying. And I know it would feel real. However, in a dream, even if I'm lucid it still feels as if everything is in fast forward. I don't know when things begin, change, or end.
About a week or two before Christmas when I was a kid I would have lots of dreams about it being Christmas. It would always disappoint me when I awoke.
The same thing happens if you really want a lucid dream. I've had it about 8 times now when I have dreams about me having a lucid dream. Sometimes I would even go asleep in the dream then have a lucid dream, then wake up in the dream!

When you have a real lucid dream, you'll know at the time and when you wake up.
