Thread: Lucid, but not really aware?

For my past "lucid" dreams, I am able to control my actions, (flying, walking around, etc.), but it seems that I am not really not aware about the fact that I am actually dreaming. Whenever I wake up from these dreams, I would end up in another dream, but I would not be aware of it. For example, last night, I was with a couple of other lucid dreamers in my dream, and we walked around, and I even met with somebody I actually knew, but not once did I question the fact that they are dream characters, and that what was around me was actually dream scene, what followed was that I woke up and talked to that person, not a single hint of lucidity this time. Is this state still really "lucid" though?... What do you guys think? I have control, but not aware, what can I do? :/

Wow, I had that same exact dream last night. I dreamt that I WILDed about three times and met up with a guy and a girl in each lucid dream, and I think we all knew we were lucid. I believe the guy and girl knew each other in my dream. However, I wasn't aware enough to really understand that I was dreaming. I honestly believed that I had become lucid in about 5 dreams that night in my first-level dream.

What I propose is that you should try to become more aware when you're awake. This should make you more aware in your dreams.
