I'm confused, what is your question? Were your reality checks to try to make something appear and to try to hit someone, and you want to know how make sure they don't fail?

If you didnt realize you were dreaming at that point, try just scrolling through your dreams (if you have a dream journal) and try to find signs that re-occur.
As for what happened in your dream, if this person Lena apearrs oftenly in your dreams, maybe everytime you see her, try to remind yourself to RC, even if your not in a dream.
I hope this helps a little, anymore questions feel free to ask

This will sound very negative but willing to things appear in lucid dreams is near impossible unless you really believe it can be done in real life. Even if you do believe it can be done in real life it is still difficult to make things appear....because you have to make something appear out of thin air in real life to see that in the dream. Don't forget you are lucid in the dream and hence logic and impressions of what is and what isn't comes into play. Making things appear out of thin air is illogical and not possible when it comes to conciousness. Many would say it takes practise but I doubt so unless you can practise making things appear in real life as practise. What you can do is to use some device in real life to use it as a reality check. If it works your dreaming...at least it's better than willing things to appear with no reason why.

Are you a closet magician IMJ ?

I assume you mean imagine in RL things appear?

LOL.....I wish! I was saying the dream is by default literal. What you do in reality, you can do in the dream and vice versa...imagining it will appear will result the same in the dream..imagining. So one possible way is to 'trick' the dreaming mind into creating something but with a reason. Like for example a remote control unit in real life that you can 'program' in advance before sleeping that certain number buttons would replicate an object or item that you want. But you'd have to really believe that it is supposed to do that. Another fail safe method is to use the device as primary reality check but if the device does not create anything as expected then a secondary reality check has to be done whenever the device does not work.

Well don't I wish! Then we could all fly around and shapeshift at will...

i never flew in real life without being on a plane, but everytime i'm lucid i'm able to fly. my point is you can do anything in a dream. i believe making things appear out of thin air is very possible, especially if you've seen it on t.v. and i'm sure everyone has seen something like that.

i meant making things appear in a dream by the way, and seeing it on t.v. while you're awake (obviously).
