      Interesting.

      I've been practicing being aware during waking life, and today since I woke up I literally felt like I could be dreaming. Does this happen once you start getting better at being aware? It was such a weird feeling to thing "this could actually be a dream.." Today was the first day that I've ever truly asked myself that..

      Someone else had a thread with the same kind of question on here it seems to be something that does happen to some ppl I've had the same experience with awareness stuff where you start to almost feel like you are dreaming even though you are awake its hard to explain I don't know why it happens though ??

      That is pretty cool and proof of major success.

      I do have a ton of thoughts and personal findings about the "reality" of waking life, but I will not get into that. We walk like zombies through life, I bet you toss a pink chicken in the middle of a busy street, and very little people will notice... because they are unaware. Becoming aware opens a whole new world in front of you, making you feeling that, because you are appreciating more the vividness of waking life, and thus, carrying it over your dreams and becoming lucid.

      Good luck, you are close!

      Yea I never realized how amazing it is to be aware! I'll usually practice in school and just notice the little thing like dirt, scuffs just anything! Hopefully it'll carry over to my dreams!!

      I don't know if it happens to everyone, but I know it happens to me. Just recently I've practiced being more self-aware, and I've since noticed that when I ask myself, "Am I dreaming? Are you sure this is real?" I feel a bit of excitement like I would in a dream. It's really amazing!

      I once posted a very similar thread, where I mentioned that I would sometimes get a "dreamlike" feeling in waking life.
      Someone called it "derealization", and I guess that's something similar, but I usually think of it as allowing the atmosphere in lucid dreams to colour your waking life, so that you "feel lucid" and get a foretaste of what a real lucid dream is going to feel like.

      And to be honest, I truly enjoy feeling this way;
      I mean, having that surreal feeling of lucidity carry over to your waking life can't exactly hurt, can it?
      That feeling is wonderful, and gives you a warm fuzzy relaxed feeling inside and makes waking life feel that much more "magical", kind of like being a child during Christmas Eve, and also keeps you motivated.

      As an experienced "practitioner" of Self Awareness, I can say that yes, that happens in the beginning stages of developing a lucid mindset.
      For me though, once I got more practice in, I would still be extremely aware throughout the day, and realize that I could be dreaming at any moment, but it would be effortless and literally second nature, so the only time I really became conscious to a lucid level was when something weird happened. It sounds ironic but it actually worked for the better considering the fact that it brought me at least 1 lucid dream every night, and even then, half of my REM dreams were semi-lucid.
      If you are going to give the entire Awareness thing a try Ruby, my advice: Once you get started, stick with it because the rewards in the end are great. I tell many people who want to give the lucid mindset a try the exact same thing. Persistence and determination have never been so powerful in a technique. Self Awareness truly is the best technique in my opinion, and it doesnt require alot of work at all once you get it down.
      Theres no doubt that if you keep this awareness going that it will carry over into your dreams consistently in no time. From what you've said, you sound more aware than I was in the start of my practice with awareness, great job!

      Goals:
      -Become Lucid in every dream every night
      -Perfect the time dilation watch
      -Continue to have a dream plan for most of my lucid dreams

      This happens to me a ton.

      One of the side effects of ADA for me.

      I also get the heightened version of it, where I feel that seem feeling of becoming lucid in a dream in real life. It's an amazingly creepy feeling.
