I’ve been able to tell I’m dreaming since I was a child. It’s not something I can control, and not something that happens all the time, but is something that happens frequently.
When I was in my late teens I started experiencing what seems to be a form of OBE. Except it wasn’t very vivid and it wasn’t easy to move in.
I would know that I was dreaming and would be moving very slowly, almost like through mud, when I finally woke up, which I often tried to make myself do without success, I could often tell others in the house what they had been talking about. It was really freaky. And dismissed by those around me as just my mind playing tricks on me.
What do you think? Any ideas?
Also these experiences always happened when I slept during the day. I never seem to dream very well at night. 
Sounds you have some “natural” abilities but miss some freedom to explore them? Do you practice the LD-techniques as explained on this site and forum? If not I would advice you to read about them and try the ones you like, since they will heighten your lucidity AND ability to control it so you will be more able to explore what is happening to you. For example WILD techniques could allow you to enter the dreamworld/OBE consciously. Better explore this by trying some techniques instead of letting fear convince you, it doesn’t look like it won’t go away by itself so fear is just waste of time… Good-luck!
