but that they think their dreaming world is just as real as their waking world

I probably wouldn't have been able to explain how dreams formed but I did not think of it as another world like real life. I thought of it more as a fake world that didn't stay the same.In another dream example i had when i was 5, I was running from the cookie monster and Elmo and could tell that it was my imagination.Would Elmo and the cookie monster really attack me? No. Would I let them eat me even if i knew it was a dream? No,because I was afraid to experience what would happen if i was eaten in the dream. I also had a nightmare about a sun cartoon character that was chasing me.(non lucid) When I woke up my mom calmed me down. Did i think I was transported to another world. Not at all. Why? Because I could recall it being from a commercial I saw on t.v. Who would allow such a ugly monstrous creature to exist in another world anyways!? : P I believe these experiences and others allowed me to distinguish real from fake too.Also,maybe at some point from someone or somewhere I did learn dreams were from the mind. But I don't think I would be able to recall who it was from. As a child we were learning about body parts from what I can remember.

^^ That is excellent advice, regardless!

Thanks and sorry I wanted to add a bit more to what I said. ^^" I took out other things I said before on this comment because perhaps it was too much.
