Basically I've had it happen where I will see strange thing happening in the dream, but instead of the realization that it's a lucid dream, I instead assume I'm playing a video game (I go pretty hardcore in Immersion when playing video games)

This wouldn't be so bad except that the assumption that it's a video game means that I will automatically set up barriers to what I can and cannot do in the dream. Like I wanted to run on a wall, so I would go onto a ride that made me go up in the air and onto a wall and assume that I glitched off of the ride but was still able to run on the walls.
Other times I'd have it where if I wanted to look at what is inside of a cabinet or something, a little HUD like in Bioshock would display that lists what's in there, that's a pretty big clue that I'm dreaming but I'll just shrug it off as me playing a game.


So my question is, how can I go from assuming it's just me playing a video game to realizing that this is a dream where there are no limits?
