Thread: Lucidity problem help!

So.. like 30 minutes ago i had my longest lucid dream ever, like 10 minutes or something, but the problem was that it was barely vivid.
This is what happened. I went home, but it wasn't really my home and in my room on the desk i saw something like 4 grams of weed. That made no sense, because my parents were in the next room and what kind of moron puts something like that for everybody to see.I then remembered to perform a reality check and i tried to push my fingers through my hand, but that didn't work, so next thing i tried to hold my nose and breathe and i could! I knew i was dreaming, but i wasn't really convinced for some reason...and it was all blurry and stuff... i shouted "CLARITY NOW!" a couple of times but nothing happened, then i tried looking at my hands to stabilize the dream and that didn't do much about the clarity either, though i think it did manage to keep me lucid for longer. Another really wierd thing is that i could barely walk, it was as if i was drunk. I told the dream to show me something awesome, but it really didn't... i felt stuff changing around me, but nothing visual or anything more like a change in energy if that makes sense.. I tried to go through a door, to see if the scenery would change, but before i could do that i accidentally hit a light switch and everything went black, i managed to turn it on and everything was back to normal (This is the second time ever that a light switch worked in my dreams) Upon opening the door i saw the exact same staircase that i used to come into my home earlier... After that i had some talk about life with my sister and eventually i woke up.
Now i'd be really grateful if someone told me why most of the things i tried didn't work. Is it maybe because this is my first reality check induced lucid dream or maybe because of the fact that i was sleeping in and that's when i got that lucid dream?

Edit: Oh and from time to time my dream eyes, started to get heavy and i started to feel sleepy and when i closed them i started seeing things like thoughts, much like when you do that in the real life, i knew i could fall asleep easily, but i didn't because i didn't really want a dream within a dream or something, but is it possible that that would have made everything much more vivid or the opposite?
