Is this normal? How can I try to become more aware/conscious in my dreams? (One thing I was thinking of is the "All Day Awareness (ADA)" method, but I don't know much besides that.

Thanks for your time!
First of all congrats ! The first LD are always so cool to have even if they are sooo short. Mine were like 5 or 10 seconds lol.

So i am not an advanced lucid dreamer at all, i am in fact still a beginer (5 lucid dreams) but i wanted to share with you what worked for me. On my 5 lucids dreams, my firsts 4 lasted like 5 seconds and were really really fuzzy. Some of them feeled like being under water, other being sleepy, etc.
But my last one was really in an other level. In this dream i just woke up and idk why told myself : "wait, this is maybe a false awakening" so i did a reality check. I understood i was dreaming, so i tried to spin around myself and to rub my hands as fast as possible.
The thing is that this is common tips that i heard to stabilize your dream. But for me it didnt work in my LD number 3 and 4. This time again woke up. But i somehow went back into my dream (wich i will not talk here) and i performed another Reality Check. I became lucid again and this time i was mad because it was the third time and the spinning and rubbing thing wasnt working. So i started to spin around again but like i said, i was mad so i shouted out loud : "Calm down !" and this is were all became extremely clear and i knew i was in.
I now understand why people say LD can be extremely real. Once really grounded into my dream, everything was looking so real that i couldnt believe i was dreaming. This didnt happen in my 4 fist LD were like i said everything was too fuzzy.

So idk if this can help but you can try to talk out loud what you want and it might work. At least for me, it seems to work extremly well. I need to try it more in my next LDs.
