So you may have heard of this before, but I honestly have not and can't figure out why in the heck this is happening. It's happened 3 times so far.

I've read that the more focused you are on lucid dreaming, the more you think about it, the more likely it is to happen for you, and this makes sense. Some nights I get REALLY focused on lucid dreaming and end up having a lucid dream, however, it's not really a lucid dream.

Ex: Last night I remember having a lucid dream. I followed my dream plan and asked my subconscious a bunch of questions, talked to people, walked around, it was pretty interesting. I even asked my subconscious how I could have more lucid dreams (this was not my last dream of the night, so I don't remember all of it), but I think my SC told me to go to bed at 9:00, and set an alarm for 4:05 AM, then go back to bed thinking about lucid dreaming.
However, when I woke up, I did not feel like I had a lucid dream.
It felt fuzzy and disconnected, like I was watching a movie.
It was like I had a dream ABOUT having a lucid dream. This has happened 3 times.
It almost seems like my mind doesn't want me to have a lucid dream, so it keeps tricking me into having fake lucid dreams.

The strange thing is in the most recent one of these non-lucid lucid dreams (I know that's contradictory), I don't remember becoming lucid, I was just in the middle of this dream. And the one before that I remember doing a reality check, incorrectly stabilizing the dream, and then it ended, but once I woke up, I didn't feel like I was ever actually conscience in the dream.

I basically want to know more about this, how to prevent it, and what is going on.

I've been trying to lucid dream for a while, with little success, I just can't will myself to WILD after WBTB, I can't make myself wake up enough to not sleep during WILD. So I've tried various methods with almost no success. Strangely though, all 3 of these fake dreams have been induced using either DILD, or MILD.

I'm not sure if these are just low level lucid dreams, or if there's actually some trickery going on here.

Thanks for reading and helping me with my predicament.
