Because I remember every single dream and can easily control them, my dreams have started trying to "trick" me into making me believe they are real. This has created more realistic dreams which has me confused during the day whether something that happend, happend for real or did I dream it. I feel like I'm living in a fog of reality and have major dejavu at least once a week. Soemtime the dejavu is so strong that I know what is going to happend before it happends because I am "playing the movie" in my head about 5 seconds before it happends. In other words, I'm going nutts here thanks to my lucid dreams that started around age 5 when I found a way to control my dreams to avoid nightmares. Has anyone been affected in the same way by there lucid dreams?

I don't mean to insult you, but I'm having a little trouble with believing this whole thing, also.
How do you know you're remembering every single dream when the opposite of remembering them is forgetting you ever had them, in the first place? You said your dreams started tricking you into making you believe they are real life because you have full control over them. If they are tricking you into believing they are real, that means your trouble is coming from losing your ability to lucid dream because lucid dreaming simply means "knowing you're dreaming."
Maybe it's just a misunderstanding, I don't know.
But if you're having a hard time believing that your dreams aren't just dreams, you're not having a problem with lucid dreaming. It sounds like you're having with realistic non-lucid dreams, in which you have full control of your actions (which are much more common than lucid dreams - with me, specifically) and you are having trouble telling them apart from waking-world reality, in which you also have full control of your actions.
If this were all lucid dreams, that were giving you trouble, you'd have no problem because you know "through every dream, during every night" that nothing is real because you are only dreaming. Let me know if I'm getting the wrong idea.
