Hello Dreamviews, I've been a long time lurker here, like for 4 years at least. I finally have a question pertinent enough for me to come out and ask it.
First of all I should say that I'm successfully adjusted to polyphasic sleeping (look it up if you don't know, shit's amazing). However, I believe this has really nothing to do with my problem, since it has been occurring long before I switched sleeping styles. Just putting that out there in-case someone wants to comment.

My real problem is that all of my dreams feel incredibly fake. I always hear about people who say their dreams are incredibly realistic, and sometimes they can't tell whether they are awake when they are lucid or not. This has never EVER been the case for me. At first I thought maybe it was a clarity issue, like the details were all fuzzy or something, but I've checked and if I want to I can really focus in on one point and get amazing details. The issue I've recently realized is that my dreams feel disjointed, fake, like they're someone else's dream and I'm just watching. What they REALLY feel like is my imagination. I've never felt like I was inside of a dream, just that I was imagining it from someones perspective. This occurs when I'm lucid or not.

I tried to remedy this by attempting WILD. I kept hearing that you get crazy lucidity because you were just awake. However, after ~1 month of experimentation, and 1 successful attempt, I realize this hasn't helped either. When my HI kicks in what happens is I feel like I am imagining a scene, like I'm getting ready to draw it or something and I have to make it up. An interesting side note though is that I notice my train of thought gets completely commandeered. Over the past few weeks I've noticed I can kind of disjoint my mind and listen to what it's thinking, and it comes up with just strings of sentence fragments that sound really cool but ultimately make little sense.

I apologize for the long post, but I felt like I couldn't get my point across otherwise. My question to you is: Is there anything I can do to make my dreams feel like they are really happening and not just in my imagination? Ask me anything, I'm really frustrated by this and am willing to try almost anything.

tl;dr
All dreams feel fake and like imagination. what do?
