I've had a few dreams where I woke up thinking something that had occured actually happened. I usually went along about half a day before realizing it was a dream... weird feeling.
I experience that a lot. Sometimes I've had to ask those involved in my dream if what I experienced actually happened. Apparently, if you become fully lucid, it's impossible to tell the difference between dreams and reality. It's kind of awkward when you're unsure of whether or not you've had sex with somebody, and you don't even drink.

I hate 'real dreams' as I like to call them. The ones that don't have anything out of the ordinary, you feel emotions and have thoughts, but it doesn't actually happen. It's such a confusing feeling.
If I remember right, the key to having lucid dreams is to recognize the difference between dreams and reality.
That somewhat conflicts with what you're saying.
The key is to use logic (or other means) to notice the fact that you are dreaming, and take it from there. Lucid dreams *feel* exactly as if you are awake.

Doubt it counts as lucid, but I woke at about six, went back to sleep thinking about an object, and it appeared in the dream before I woke up.
My dream this morning was very strange... kinda carries on from the one about the lass the PS3, and the collecting of boxes. Same lass, except she started a job where I'm working for Summer. She asked me for help in labelling a pallet of boxes... they looked suspiciously like the ones I'd collected the night before.
Yeah I'm with the most of you guys, I usually have it once a month or so, i've never really thought about it in detail, other than it was weird, I think I might take up on the journal idea and try to peice things together, really interesting.

I don't have deja-vu once a month but I've definitely had a few experiences of it. Mostly when I was younger I would dream about something and then it'd seem to unfold exactly as I had remembered. Huge government conspiracy? I think so.

I'd say this happens to me once a month. Yes, it can get very confusing. Sometimes surreal. I already get pretty strong deja-vu sometimes, where it feels as if something (very specific though) I am doing or looking at already happened. I think that sometimes I dream about the day ahead so when I act it out again it feels like deja-vu?
