When I remember a dream, I remember it as a series of events that happened. But it's hard to remember myself actually being there and doing the events! Even the most adventurous dreams seem dull when I wake up, because I don't feel like I was ever there. I mean I know I was never there, but the point is to think I was!
Most of the few lucids I've had felt like this too, maybe because I wasn't thinking straight and I mostly went with the dream anyway - I didn't really stop to look around, except one which my brother woke me up from, it was so cool, damn him
Sorry if I'm not making any sense I'm not sure I understand myself what I'm talking about.
