So close!

Last night, in one of the dreams I remembered. I was at my friends house, sitting on the floor of his room. Then I all the sudden decided that is was a dream and decided to pinch myself (?) as a reality check. Nothing happened. I didnt think of the nose pinching RC at the time. But then I just said "I'm dreaming!" and tried to float up into the air. I went into another dream after that

It sounds like a low-level lucid dream, which is a good start! Congrats.

Cool dream! Hopefully this is a sign that you are on the right track.
