Hi Andrew,
This type of false lucid dream happens fairly often, especially for people who are practicing lucid dreaming techniques. If you've been reading about lucid dreaming or practicing some techniques, your mind is filled with information about the topic and you end up having dreams like the one you described. I understand what you mean about it being hard to explain. Sometimes the idea of dreaming about being lucid can be difficult to convey.

Last night I had a dream that I was realizing I was dreaming, but I didn't actually realize I was dreaming. It's hard to explain, but I guess to simplify, I had a dream in which I was lucid dreaming, but in reality it was just another dream. I want to know if this has ever happened to you or if you have ever heard of this happening

Hi Maria,
I don't know of any negative side-effects. Usually, the side-effects are positive instead. I've found lucid dreaming gives me a clearer view of reality. It makes me more observant in everyday life and makes me more aware of myself and my surroundings.

are there any side affects on Lucid Dreaming?
Can it confuse you on your view of reality?

I strongly recommend these techniques if you have a few minutes spare each day to focus on lucid dreams. The best thing is you can practice as you are falling asleep!

I have had many lucid dreams over the last decade, simply by using techniques like this and using waking reality checks. Entering the conscious dreamworld is like nothing else you have experienced before – not quite a dream, but not quite reality either! It is exhilarating and I have never had any kind of negative experience whatsoever.

I've been having lucid dreams since childhood although I didn't know it was called that until a few years ago when I came across an article in a magazine about it.When I was a child if I realized I was dreaming and wanted to wake up from it I used to jump into a box next to the fire place which always worked as long as I could find the box.Later on in my childhood I discovered during a dream where a witch spun me around from my arms that I could wake up using this method as long as I could find someone to do that for me.It's strange but I can still remember a lot of the dreams I had as a child as though they were written in stone.
In adult life I can awake from a dream by just willing it
although usually my body would be paralyzed for a while when I first awoke.This used to frighten me a bit for a while until I discovered through another article that this is perfectly natural and only means that the mind has awoken while the body is still asleep.I've also had one or two mildly prophetic dreams in my time and re-occurring dreams also (I could write a book on the amount these I have had).Since my childhood (I am now 53 years old) my lucid dreams have been few and far between with occasional clusters but it has not been till recently that I have decided to willfully bring them on after discovering that there are websites dedicated to the subject.I find your site interesting as it is short and to the point as I don't want to wade through pages and pages I just need a brief outline of techniques.
I look forward to reading your other articles indicated in the links on this page.
