Thread: Lucid Dream help?

About 3 nights ago I went to sleep as usual and ended up in a dream. I went throughout this dream then all of a sudden the thought just snapped in my head that I was dreaming. But what I remember is that everything was very blurry when this happened I began to try and rub my hands to make the landscape more vivid, this failed to work and it was still very blurry like I had a pair of wrong glasses on. After this I tried to do a reality check to make the area more vivid. I raised my hand and tried to put my finger through my hand but it did not work(this has happened in another dream before similar to this story) the finger failed to go through my hand. I tried flying up then back to the ground, this worked but it was very blurry. So overall I am trying to find out what went wrong here, why didn't I have much control and why it was so blurry. I also remember during the dream everything wasn't that clear and I would snap in and out of reality for a brief second multiple times. I tried to even relax and keep hold of the dream but eventually the dream ended.
