I agree. I got up to the point where prob about 50% of my remembered dreams were lucid and I was pretty good at fighting the urge to wake up and the uncontrollable nod back to unconsciousness. Many years after I quit actively lucid dreaming, I still had "semi-lucid" dreams very often and it often seemed like my dreaming-self was somehow less free and more attached to my waking-self because of it. ie; i was much more often myself and preoccupied with waking anxieties in my dream.
