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.

I'm sorry I'm coming off as not believable and if this is the case that I'm not making sense then that implys to me that no one has shared these same problems as i and that maybe this is not the best place to get answers. When I say I remember my dreams it means that when I awake I can account for what I dreamed that night. It doesn't mean that a week later I still remember them all. some dreams I do remember forever it seems and others I forget after about 30 minutes of waking up. Im my dreams I can control my actions as well as actions of the dreams so if that's not lucid dreaming then maybe I'm calling it the wrong thing. In my dreams I know they are dreams but not until something odd happends that doesn't happen in real life. So in other words my dream may be normal for a while and I do not know I'm dreaming at that time. When something unnormal happends, it triggers me to knowing that it's a dream and from then on during the rest of the dream, I know I'm dreaming and I "have fun" with it. What happends during the day is I'll ask a friend how her divorce is going (this is just a for instance) and she'll say "what divorce?" Then I reply "I'm sorry I must have dreamed you were getting divorced" then I start feeling really bad and like I'm going nutts because my friend getting a divorce was so real to me in the dream that I thought it really did take place. Sure I could solve this problem if when I awoke I wrote down everything I dreamed about so I would remember what was fiction but that would be a hassel in itself. I just want to learn to dream like normal people "I think." Granted being able to control your dreams is ALOT of fun but this daytime fog I'm in is only getting worse. Oh and I'm not sure if the dejavu is a result of the dreams or not but I wish they would go away completely!
