I do the reality checks and keep at dream journal and remember my dreams quite well. But whenever I become lucid(which has been only a couple of times cause I just started a couple of weeks ago) I have a very low level of control and consciousness. I mean last night I kept rubbing my hands together telling myself I was dream to fully "wake up" and it just wasn't happening. I was able to remember my lucid goals though. I yelled out for a magic potion to appear and a goo-filled vile showed up. Then when I remembered my second goal, to meet Austin Powers, I yelled out for my dream to show him to me and my little brother showed up and told me to be quiet. Looking back on it I could have performed some more intense reality checks, but my memory was a little hazy. And a couple of nights ago, I had a wild where I felt like I left my body. The problem was that I doubted that it was a dream and thought it was real. So when I tried to float through a door I just bounced off and then it just faded to a normal dream. Any idea of what to do? thanks
