What about spending time reading books and watching films - I do both of these a lot. But perhaps a person with the kind of mind which can lucid dream will just naturally have a less solid feeling about reality.
That's possible, yes. However if the feeling of derealization is strong and disturbing it could be a symptom of something more serious, like anxiety disorder or other illness. It's not an illness on its own and always has a cause.
Just speaking from experience. It's also an interesting matter and I enjoy reading and talking about it. I'm always curious when it comes to brain and its capacities, especially dreaming and how tiniest things like everyday stress may affect the whole organism. It's amazing and terrifying at the same time.
Is it normal to feel that the world isn't real?

Yeh I've had anxiety issues since I was a child. You seem to know a lot about this kind of thing?
