Thread: Dream-self Vs Real-self

Hi everybody!
I'm new to this forum but not entirely to LD:ing. I have started a dream-journal and had about 4-5 LDs since I started. I even had one last night and that's what spawned my question:

If you would be your "real-self"(who you are when you're awake) when you were dreaming you would spot dreamsigns rather easy but your dream-self are not to clever and accepts weird things as completely normal(most of the time). And my dream-self I don't think as clear or logical as I do when I am awake. And last night when I got lucid I had my longest LD so far and when I woke up I realized that it had been my dream-self who had been in the dream. I hadn't changed from dream-self to real-self when I became lucid. I enjoyed being lucid of course but I would have enjoyed it even more if I would have been my real-self in the dream.

So my question is: Will it always be my dream-self who realizes he's dreaming or will I eventually become my real-self when I become lucid?

Maybe.

I find in lucid dreams sometimes my brain is very logical and other times its not. It doesn't seem to have gotten any better with time. To tell you the truth though, the weird ones are more fun, because once you get too logical things like gravity and such turn back on and yoou can't do anything cool. That's my experience.
