Hey Sivason, I know this thread is getting a bit old, but I thought I'd tell you about my experience with this.

I have been inducing lucid dreams for 7+ years... not quite decades like you and Sageous, but I have been pretty diligent with my incubation practices at various times throughout the years.
A couple of years ago, I was at the point where all of my dreams were at least semi-lucid. I wondered if I missed a lot of lucid opportunities because it was just so normal to know that I was dreaming, so there often wasn't a 'moment of realisation' that would lead me to take control of the dream. I would often have thoughts like, "Oh, I must remember to tell my housemate about this dream," while still just going along with the storyline and not becoming 'fully' lucid.

In 2011, I began working on pre-production for a lucid dreaming documentary that I'm directing. It requires a lot of research and trials, comparing various induction techniques and weighing up the suitability of each technique for different lifestyles. I wanted to explore both natural induction methods, and external aids such as electronic devices, supplements and herbs. I had never used any external aids at the time (I had no need), but I wanted to try them myself to gain a better understanding of how they worked before designing the formal studies. For the trials, I will be recruiting people who have no prior experience with lucid dream induction. I realised that, to get a more accurate idea of the effect of the supplements, I would have to attempt to wipe out my natural dream recognition.

I began my reversal process by making a rule that I would not actively participate in any daytime activities that would strengthen the neural pathways associated with dream recognition. That meant not reading, writing, or talking about dreams/lucidity, and not doing reality checks or practising awareness with dreaming in mind. I also stopped keeping a dream journal and stopped my morning recall practices.
It didn't take long before I started to have less lucid, and completely non-lucid dreams, but I still had residual awareness and occasional DILDs for about 6 months after that. By that point, I was rarely even remembering my dreams, and the ones I did remember were consistently non-lucid, so I was satisfied that I could begin to trial the supplements and get closer results to that of a novice.

In your situation, it sounds like you're not wanting to cut out lucid dreams entirely, but just have the occasional non-lucid dream where you can be completely absorbed and convinced of the fantastical elements and virtual reality. Based on my experience, perhaps if you chose to have a break for a week for example, where you didn't actively engage in any form of dream incubation, you might find that you have a few fully non-lucid dreams, and then you can return to your regular practices.

How have you been going with this? Did you decide it was still something you wanted to pursue?
