I have yet to realize I'm dreaming but sometimes in the dream I can control what to do in the situation. This is happening more frequently but I still can bridge the gap. Any suggestions? (I keep an avid dream journal, do plenty of RC's, practice ADA, and read into lucidity frequently)
My concern lies in the fact that lucidity usually precedes control, not vice versa
Dream control does not equal lucidity. Simple as that:) I've had a lot of experiences like that, its not uncommon
That's what's also known as a false lucid dream - a dream in which you have control but do not actually become lucid (hence the name 'false lucid dream').
I've heard of people having those sort of dreams, though I've personally only ever experienced one, which was the result of a failed DEILD attempt (I forgot about actually crossing over into the dream; I still had control but didn't realize the dream had actually started until I woke up).
Just keep doing what you are doing! ADA is a good technique and you will get lucid eventually :)
