Okay so i just had a normal dream, that was completely not normal.
Okay so I was in my bedroom and there was a mouse trackball on my bedside table. I picked it up.

Me: It is round.
My fingers: No its not
Me: Yes it is look at it, its round
My fingers: Nope
Me: Omfg why does this object which is CLEARLY ROUND... feel square?

Anyone else had an experience like this before?

What is strange about the experience? Just that what you were seeing in the dream wasn't the same as what you are feeling?

Basically, I was holding a sphere but it felt like a cube. It was so weird...

Gotcha. Yeah, crazy stuff like that happens all the time in dreams, especially when you are actually getting aware enough to notice things like this. This is what I call "general dream awareness" it is associated heavily with recall and is a good sign of progress. If you experience a lot of this questioning reality without lucidity, you need some more "state awareness", the awareness of the states. It doesn't matter how aware you become in dreams of inconsistencies or dream like things if the thought of dreams doesn't pop up. Things to do for state awareness is like meditating and more rcs, reading your dj (good for a lot of things).
