I get were you are coming from in as as much as I have ‘lucid’ dreams which feel like lucid dreams at the the time but on awakening you realise were not really the case.
For example just the other night I had a dream were I was showing a dream character how I passed through glass windows when lucid, demonstrating by placing my arm through a window which gave magically around the same.
It felt like a lucid dream at the time but on awakening I realised it was not so or at the very least was a half and half affair. That said lucid awareness and real day to day awareness are not the same thing and what one might regard as been ‘conscious’ in a dream would not pass for the same here in the so called real world anyway!
