Ive had about 3-5 lucid dreams, not too many but I consider this good, in that I stopped keeping a DJ and have the LDs pretty much randomly, im content with having a few LDs and not having one every night, ever since I started the DJ though I do remember a WHOLE lot more normal dreams even after I stopped using it. I thought this was awesome (I find I dont have to keep a DJ, if I just go through my dream in the sequence it happened after waking up and just try to remember the whole dream itself then it seems to be as useful as a DJ to me, even if I forget the dream a couple days later which I do.)
So, out of about 2-3 of those LDs, I find I wake up after and start questioning if I even had an LD, and I come to the conclusion theirs no way I thought up a vivid story while dreaming to convince myself I had an LD and that the LD had really happened, does anyone else do this?
Its weird to even question if I had one because I clearly remember a dream in which I was in control, its just sometimes I wake up and wonder if I really had one, or if I made it up to make myself feel better lol, which I just come to find highly impossible. If i were to make up a dream while sleeping I have no idea how that would work, especially to make up a vivid dream and have visuals to go with it. But I just sometimes wake up with a strong feeling it never happened, do you think its because I know that LD’s overall are not real that provides this feeling? Anyone else ever wake up and question if the LD even happened?
Appended “(if a lucid dream happened)” to the topic title for clarification.
