3rd person lucidity problem

[Zohorov]

Hi there, im new to lucid dreaming. Im learning to lucid for a month or two now, i know its not a lot but i keep having the same problem. I come lucid a lot of times in dreams, in fact its like every second or third dream that i remember... but the problem is that i cant do anything about it... All my dreams (at least those that i remember) are from a 3rd person prespective... and its not just the view, but i have no control over the second ,,me" in dreams... its like there is 2 of me... Me as in me that knows he is lucid, and me in the dream... So even if i come lucid i cant control the ,,me " in my dream even if i want to. And i have absolutely no control over the dream. The second me goes through the dream like any other dreams. So my question is, will it be a problem? Will i learn to control dreams even through third person or is there a way to switch to 1st person ? And another question... sometimes i realise that its probably a dream but im not sure... but i always forget about reality checks... i just wake up and give myself a facepalm. So if i do reality checks will i remember to do them in dreams?

Although the lowest definition would be just that you know you are dreaming, my lucids are mostly like I am actually awake, in the first person, able to do stuff in the dream. I may not have very good dream control yet, but I can make very conscious decisions. Your description above sounds a bit like you just have very vivid dreams, not lucid. If you do a reality check, it will probably be because you are already lucid, but are just making sure, then you *really* know that you are dreaming. I have also had what I would still call lucid dreams where I know I'm dreaming, but awareness is low and I have no dream control, just observing, but even I would admit that these are close to being non-lucid. You will know when you fully wake up in a dream - it's unmistakeable!
