realizing, but its going wrong

the Stuff Dreams are made of...
1

ok…so ive been having these weird dreams lately, where usually near the end, i say things like “yeah, but im just dreaming so whatever” or “its just a dream”, but its not like i realize its a dream, i get that slight feeling, but never actually go lucid, and after i say things like that in my dream, i just wake up getting a sense of deja vu.

like the dream i had about the ghost girl from the grudge movies…she said she was going to kill me, so i tried running, and when i made it outside she was there, so i said “just go ahead! its just a dream anyway…” but then she didnt do it, instead she went inside and terrorized other people. and i woke up.

could anyone help me with this?

Could it be low level lucidity? You should resolve to do some reality check when you realise you are dreaming. Just to officially be able to conclude. “Yes, this is a dream, definately.” And as you practise RCs IRL do it with focused attention. That way you will hopefully do the same in the dreams.

I’ve also had dreams where I realized I was dreaming and just decided to wake myself up, which I did. But that was not what I had resolved to do in a LD. I think it’s safe to classify these as low-level or “half-way” LDs. Whenever possible, do RCs to consolidate your conscious grip on the dream, then do whatever you had planned for your LD.
