I’ve found that although i’ve been failing regularly to have Lucid Dreams, I have had some very realistic normal dreams. I think it’s the focus on dreaming in general that’s done it, but I don’t know for sure.
Last night for example, I was walking around the streets lost - I remember how clear everything was - though I was not Lucid. I decided to try and break into the houses for fun - something I might have tried if I was Lucid… i’m beginning to think my subconcious is immitating what my concious-self might do…
It’s rather neat, because even if I don’t have a Lucid dream I have rather entertaining normal dreams 
, at least for the past week.
Yes, that’s been happening with me too. In those dreams, there also seems to be a bit of yourself that does indeed realize that it’s a dream. Part of your subconscious merging with your conscious mind or something, I think, like you said.
Yup… it’s definately pretty fun…
Last night I went to was alseep for just 2 hours before waking up - and I already remembered a vivid normal dream involving fireworks… hehe, that was pretty crazy.
Actually (off-topic here) what made this particular experience even better was the fact that before I went to sleep I watched a war-movie called ‘Flags of our Fathers’ - sleeping had dream of fireworks - awake 2 hours later heard a loud bang and felt the ground rumble… yes I thought maybe I was hallucinating but my family heard it/felt it too. We think someone set off a firecracker in a letterbox or something.
its definitely true that dreams are cooler once you start trying to ld. I think have a dream journal has a big part in it too, not sure why. But ya my normal dreams have been much more interesting and vivid.
