Right im new to this but its the 3rd time i cracked into Lucid dreaming, the first time i woke up straight away, the second time, i thought i was in someone elses dream and i was teachin them to lucid dream haha, crazy i know

but then last night i actually was aware i was in a lucid dream, i cant fully remember the seen but i remember being in some overpopulated hostel, and someone chasing me with a knife, and i just stopped looked back and tried to fire a fireball at him, but nothing happened i tried again, still nothing, then i tried turning his knife into a plie of flowers failed at dat too, so i just ran away
I manage to get away, and believe it or not, i went on to a forum like this in my dream to post a thread on what to do

then someone sit beside me and said your dreaming, you need to say "im lucid dreaming, and im in control" just then i remember just falling slowly away hanging off something, cant remember exactly, and just felt really dizzy, but had to snap out of it

cause in my dream i thought i was going to fall out of my bed, (and my bed is high enough to break ya neck)

so i just all of a sudden was in my bed, thought i had woken i got up and told everyone about the lucid dream i had, whilst unaware i was still dreaming, some1 stole my Fathers car,then i really woke up

sorry for the long story i just want to know why didn't i have control, i tried everything, from pushing, thinking and believing, but nothing

is it abit too early for me to try and fire projectiles or what, any comment is appreciated thanks.
