Not noticing I'm dreaming, though bizar events occur

[skuthepoo]

Hey everyone, so I'm still new to becoming lucid, and ive only really had one intentional lucid moment but it was short lived. I basically was having a piss in the upstairs toilet, it was dark even though I had turned the light on it wasnt really lighting the room (1st thing) then I noticed the bath was full and there was a large spider walking on the water which I thought was unusual (2nd thing) then I could hear marching from outside and there were children's silhouettes passing the window (3rd thing) then I thought shit, am I dreaming?! And I tried a reality check while walking to the nearest window in the hallway to see what was with the marching and I tried to pass my finger through my hand and pinch myself, but I felt it and I could feel that my finger had not passed through my other hand. My walking was also tricky like that 'I'm dreaming and can't run away' feeling, and I got to the window and an explosion and huge white light went off and I woke up. At the end of all that, I still wasn't certain that I was dreaming, even though in hindsight it was blatantly obvious from the start. Does anyone else just notice one thing and they just know they are dreaming? Just seems like peculiar events occur in my dreams but I don't realise they are peculiar while I'm in them...any advice? Also I dreamt the other night that my brothers hand was cut open by accident and i couldn't focus in on the hand, another dream sign I know about that didn't aid me in becoming lucid. Strange events but no real lucidity. Been attempting lucid for about 4/5 months, feel I have made little progress
