My weird experiences....

Im kind of…not confused, just anxious to see whats with my dreams. But anyway, I haven’t really recorded a dream in my dream journal since before august 23rd, although I have dreamed since then. In the time from the 23rd, to now, I probably had 3 lucid dreams. One of them, I was dissapointed to find out that it was a dream, and not real life (heh), 1 of them I realized I was dreaming, and shrugged it off. (I was in a dream where i was taking my dog from this lady, and we were running away, I thought “Why is my dog running so fast”, I looked at my hands, saw I was dreaming, and then just…kept running), Then another one, I looked at my hands, and counted them, and I noticed they looked weird, but didn’t do anything about it.
Now, I think a reason this is happening is because sometimes when I do a reality check in real life, I don’t focus a lot on it, and I can’t always plug my nose.
Or do you think it is because I don’t have much planned to do in a Lucid Dream. I am more into exploring a LD, and thats a bit hard to plan. But anyway, any help?

Heh, at least you’re not like me, if i see something weird (no matter in a dream or real life) i’ll just go : “Meh”, shrug my shoulders and continue whatever i was doing.
I’m a “So what” person, and it gives me troubles with achieving lucidity.

Lol, Then do Reality checks whenever you remember to do them, Just because it isn’t an abnormal occurence, doesn’t mean that it won’t work. If you RC a lot, it will transfer in your dream, despite why you RCed

When you do them in real life, question whether they look okay and whether it’s RL or a dream. I think you hit the nail on the head with thinking it’s because you don’t focus on it and question the realness. So when you do them in dreams, you don’t really take any notice of it either.
