(She happens to tell me that SHE'S in a lucid dream to, but deep in my mind I knew that she was just a figment of my imagination.)
However, I don't even think of doing a reality check. Instead, the first thing I did in both dreams was try to backflip, and fail. Then I try to fly, and that fails too. The only thing I managed to do last night was impress everyone at a party by moving a teddy bear across the table with my mind. (And it was hard to do...) It was a boring party, and I KNEW that I could teleport away if I wanted to, but I didn't. It just seems that I know I'm dreaming, but I don't seem to do anything logically. And pretty soon, everything just mushes away into a normal dream.
So I guess these are either just regular dreams where I dream I'm lucid, or something like a semi-lucid dream. In a real lucid dream, do you really act in total control like you would in waking life? And how do you achieve that?
You were indeed having lucid dreams, and lucid dreams are no different from regular dreams except for the fact that you are aware you are in the dream state, and from there you can exert your will on the dream itself to make any changes you can imagine.
In the dream reality (as I call it), you can do anything you can imagine to do. The reason you were unable to backflip or fly, was because you had doubt that you could do so. You were essentially making it harder for yourself to do those actions with your thought processes.
If you expect that there is gravity, then there is. If you expect that you can change everyone in the room into rabbits, you can. If you expect that you can turn into the most glorious mythical creature you've ever seen, you can. If you expect that you can fling fireballs from your palms, you can. If you are flying and think you can fall without regaining the ability to fly before hitting the ground, you will. Your results when trying to do things in dreams that you cannot do in waking reality are based on your beliefs, intent, and will.
In order to make changes to the dream scene, to characters and objects, you have to fully believe you can. If you have ANY doubt, even a small hint of it, a fleeting thought, that doubt becomes a part of the situation, and the results of that doubt will be the final result, instead of your intended one. For example, if you believe you can walk through a brick wall to the inside of a building, you can, but if for some reason you think "what if I get stuck halfway or something", don't be surprised when you are then stuck halfway through the wall with your body sticking out of either side until you reaffirm your belief that you can pass completely through the wall, and then you'll be able to.
When you are dreaming, waking life logic no longer matters. You know you can teleport away somewhere, so think of your consciousness relocating to the spot you are considering teleporting to and then say "teleport" believing you will relocate to that spot. You can even add a motion or process to it if you'd like. Something like summoning a warp hole that will take you to such and such location, then you jump in and end up there. Be creative, and don't use waking reality logic in your dreams. The physical does not matter, it's all mental, and anything is possible.
