I know, I know, most people simply say that if you are aware you are dreaming, it is a lucid dream. Now last night i became aware that I was dreaming in the dream (DILD). Even though I knew it was a dream i still felt hesitant to do some things and almost thought it would effect me in my waking life. (Example: Hesitant to "kiss" a girl thinking she might have known what i did in my waking life). So can anyone help me? It seems like I know that I was lucid, but still lacked intelligence and didn't understand everything. I know you are dumber in dreams but is this sort of thing normal?

It might sound confusing, but it was almost like even though i knew i was dreaming, it still felt weird when i woke up and seemed like i wasn't intact with reality when i was dreaming, if that makes any sense at all..
