That's right. I didn't do the reality checks to check if I was dreaming or not, I was doing them jokingly. I also didn't even notice that I would breathe with my nose plugged because I was so excited to meet someone else that knew about lucid dreaming that I wasn't even paying attention.

In one dream I had, a friend of mine and I were having a party and we were waiting on a catering person to show up with food. The person showed up and it was the same friend... And instead of asking myself why in the world there were two of the same person in existence, I turned to the original friend i was holding the party with and told her "you didnt tell me you worked for a catering company! we could have spent a lot less money."
I felt really dumb when I woke up.
In another dream I had I was leaving a class and going down some stairs and there was a gigantic cardboard box blocking the way (around 20 feet long 10 feet wide and 10 feet tall) and I just got really annoyed my college would leave a box like this blocking the way as I climbed over it.
