Last night I had my first REAL lucid dream that I could pretty much control. I woke up last night to a stuffed nose so I wrote my previous dream in my dream journal and went to the bathroom to snort back my decongestant stuff and went back to bed. I only had 1 hour left till I had to get up but I went to sleep anyway. I "woke" up in the bathroom and looked outside and thought "It wasn't that dark when I was last here..." and I looked at my hands and my pinky and ring finger seemed to connect. Then I tried to flick off and on a light switch. Now after this I was in complete control of my actions but I couldn't make things happen (Ex: people appear, teleport, fly). It was as though I was in waking life inside a dream. Even after I had a false awakening and realized that, too, was a dream... I still couldn't really make stuff happen. Will I be able to become lucid easier now? Will I gain more power over my dreams?

P.S: There are a lot of details throughout the dream I left out because it's irrelevant to my questions, but if you wish to know them I could tell you.
