Thread: Knowing I'm Dreaming But Not REALLY Knowing

Numerous times I've had these types of dreams, where I'm basically saying, "Nothing to worry about, it's only a dream," but somehow not realizing it's really a dream. Hell, it happens on a regular basis for me now. Aggravates me how I'm passing the lucid opportunity almost nightly.

yeah i have the same problem, i just posted a thread similar to this actually. i'm sure all it takes is a reality check, but i always forget about them.

Many of my dreams are of this type. Often I won't even "realize" it's a dream but will still "know" that the laws of reality don't work in the dream.

Its because you have no logic during dreams
