That's exactly how I see my lucid dreaming self and normal dreaming self being different.

I've had plenty of dreams where I know that I'm dreaming and haven't been lucid. I guess it's just because you can remember things from the previous day in a dream, so presumably you'll sometimes remember that you went to bed. Or something. I don't really know how it works.

It's like the difference between knowing saturn has rings, and actually going to see them for yourself.

(which would be pretty cool... *adds to LD to-do list*)
