Hey this was my first lucid since i started trying to Lucid dream, i also stopped doing RC's and DJ's i just recalled every morning for a week and for some reason i had a LD.

So im lucid but i dont have much dream controll.
Im standing infront of a huge pool with lots of stuff in it. [I realise im in a dream now]
I look into the pool and i hear a voice telling me to go in and find the chest. So i dive in and the waters freezing, i yell out for it to be hotter then its to hot. finally i ask to turn it down a tad and it becomes just right. I start diving down expecting to have to come back up for air but i didnt need to breathe! so after awhile i decided this was stupid and i wanted to fly away. thats when the dream fell apart.
But amazingly i remained lucid!
For some reason im in my parents room so i look in there closet and i see all this chocolate(?) so i pick one up when i see three multi colored spiders there they look dangerous so i slam the door shut. Then i see the door getting hit from the side the spiders are on. [Im not to worried i realise its a dream i just dont have Dream Controll] so i run down stairs to my room and see my parents [DCs] on the way. While in my room a spider slips under my door so i throw a golf ball at it and it dies. [This carries on for like 5 minutes with different items always hitting the spiders] i get fed up so i run up to my living room and my dad [DC] is literally sitting infront of the TV and looks abit zombified so i assume he was bit by a spider. My moms fine. She asks if i want to see the movie "Wolf Man" wich ive already seen. She turns the preview on and all of a sudden im in the movie. Thats when the dream starts to fall apart i try rubbing my hands and spinning but no luck. As i quickly see other dreams flash around me i wake up amazed that i just really had a lucid!

So my questions are:
- Is this good for a first LD
-Is there any exercises/tricks to use for better dream control
-And it would be nice to read your input for my LD please

Thank you for taking the time to read this!

That's a very nice first lucid

Dream control comes with time and with you believing in yourself. I've found that visualizations works great if you intend to do something. Also using a feeling from real life, like going straight up on an amusement park ride, that way you can bring back that feeling and try to mimick it in the dream, making you fly.

I suggest next time you feel like running, that you face the things that scare you. Even if it means you're going to die, it's just a dream, dying isn't scarier than we decide to make it. I've died countless times, everything just turns black and soon you're either awake or in another dream.

Taking a break once and a while can be good for Lucid Dreaming, but I suggest you keep on writing in your DJ and doing RC's. If you don't get any good results in a few weeks, try another short break.

Good luck!
