Thread: Does anyone else tend to get this dreamy feeling in waking life?

I have been practicing a form of All Day Awareness for a while now, where I pretend that waking life is a lucid dream and I simply choose to not control it, and I have certainly noticed some results - my dreams are way more vivid and easier to remember, and I have become lucid a couple times as well.
One funny side effect, though, is that I have started to feel that certain "dream-feeling" in waking life as well.
Sometimes it even feels like being in a dream, even though I know that I am awake, and this always makes me smile hysterically for myself.
It's almost like being a child again and rediscovering the world, and I feel a more or less constant excitement over my surroundings, since I know that waking life is kind of like a dream, since it is simulated the same way by the brain, and I find this very fascinating.
Then I try to imagine as vividly as possible what I could probably discover in various places if it really was a lucid dream, and I have found that this is a great way to boost that excitement.

Have you ever felt anything similar about waking life?
Everything just kind of gets this mysterious feeling about it, even plain ordinary objects.
