A few hours ago I woke up from my first LD. It started with me flying semi-lucid but then in the air I decided to become fully lucid.

I had an LD before but I couldn't do anything, everything I tried failed, and I wasn't really thinking about what I was doing.

Now I stopped flying when I became fully lucid and thought what should I do. Instead of the experimenting and dream guide searching I was planning to do I finished the Advanced Task of the Month! http://dreamviews.com/community/show...0&postcount=90

The ending, as I said the the TotM topic, was like this:
The ending of the dream was really mean: I hear a noise, as if someone said: "Shh", I think it may have been my dad, but Santa, who is on my left, looks to the right of me and when I look too I wake up.

Unfortunately, my recall isn't that good yet so I can't remember much before the lucid part, and the lucid part is a bit vague. Nothing like a real memory.

Now I have two questions:
Should the clarity of my dreams go up once I practice Dream Recall more?
How do I make myself think and do the things I want while in the dream?

Any thoughts?
