After a couple hundred LDS you discover your awareness in dreams covers a spectrum. Mostly I am aware but like being somewhat drunk... inhibitions reduced. But sometimes I am pretty normal and even think I am awake at first until I RC (even if I don't stop to think "how did I get here?") Once in a while I will have only slight awareness...almost forgotten upon awakening. But all these crossed a line where I truly knew I was in a dream.
