Well, the feeling of knowing that you're dreaming is nearly unmistakeable. It's like a sudden change in awareness, although it can be stronger or lesser at times. Dream control, or having bizarre occurrences/location changes doesn't necessarily mean you're lucid, although it can indicate that you're on the right track.
