Hello. I used to visit this forum until about 2 years ago, when my long dry spell started (despite my great motivation at the time). Now I don't pay much attention to dreams, but I started to have LDs time to time again and I am happy about this. They are usually short and "low-energy", but I am going to start working on it.

I want to tell you what happened to me several times recently. I became lucid in a dream (most often after a nose-plug RC). After I experienced the usual "shift" I suddenly realized: Hey, I have already have an LD like this and it is not such a long time ago! I didn't remember that the circumstances were the same, but the overall impression was similar to the memory and I was sure that I hadn't recalled that dream after waking. Once I even lost the actual dream surroundings because of thinking about the previous forgotten dream. Now I can remember a few dreams in which I had an intense lucid feeling with an impression that I had forgotten many LDs I had had before. From the complicated direct memory (remembering a dream in which I remembered a dream) I think that the previous dreams were only a short lucid fragments (and I lost lucidity rather than wake up).

Do you think that I had had a real LD during some night before, but I didn't recall it after waking up? Or do you think that I fabricated the previous dream in the dream I became lucid for real? (like a fake Deja-vu) Do you have experiences with similar feelings?
