The other day, I had a dream that I was lucid dreaming. I just dreamed that I was lucid. I even dreamed that I had multiple false awakenings.

I never became lucid.

Then, last night, I had a dream that my cat died. But, in the dream, I thought "Wait, that's an odd way for a cat to die. Ah, this must be a dream. So when I wake up it will all be okay." I believed myself.

I. NEVER. BECAME. LUCID.

Why is my subconscious so stupid? D: I do reality checks daily, so I don't get this.
