Recently my dream recall has gone through the roof after keeping up with them for a few months, and I've even been able to at least guide my dreams to a certain subject or situation. I'm even getting a limited sense that I am dreaming in many of them.

After waking up from a particularly good dream this morning, I noticed that some of the dreams are so "nice" that I don't really want to go lucid and just carry on, thinking that it's reality. I sort of say screw it if I'm having a good time, since the dreams lose a lot of the vividness once I am lucid.

So is this just a normal thing, or am I just being an escapist by trying to accept them as reality? It doesn't bother me as much as I make it sound like it does, but has anyone else started to make a habit of this just to keep the vividness of the dream up? I am having more vivid memories of more dreams and I have a fleeting awareness of what is going on in roughly 1/4 of them, but is this sort of denial of lucidity even healthy?
