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?
