      not sure...

      last night i had a dream. i was at my old apartment, and i was up late playing video games. i decided it was time for bed, and turned everything off. after i did that i saw my brother going up the stairs, but he had already gone to bed awhile ago, plus the guy looked skinnier than my bro. the person stopped halfway up the stairs, and i go over to look closely at him. its some guy i don't know, but he swears he's not a thief. so i say, this isn't real, this is a dream. the guy says no this is really happening, and i say no, i'll prove it, and i pinch my nose, and can still breathe fine! so he runs out through the front door, and i start trying to make people/things appear and disappear in the room, but I can't. eventually I wake up, and it feels like a regular dream. so now i'm not sure if i had a lucid dream, and just didn't know how to control it, and don't know how it feels waking up from it, or did i haev a regular dream where i thought i was lucid. keep in mind, a while ago i was trying to regularly do reality checks and whatnot, but slowly forgot to do them as often, and then stopped. i havn't done one in quite a while. so while i don't do them regularly, i guess its possible that i would do it if i thought i was dreaming...

      Did you know you were dreaming? Like, really know? Because if you did, you were Lucid. If you were just going through the motions without any awareness at all, you were just dreaming of being Lucid.

      That was most likely an LD, but with crappy control.
      It might improve as you get more, don't worry.

      I'm not really sure. once i did the nose thing i knew i was lucid dreaming, and started to try to control stuff, but nothing happened. Im not sure if it was real or just dreaming about lucid dreaming.

      Control and lucidity don't always go hand in hand. Sometimes, the dreams that are the most lucid and stable are also the hardest to control. When I am too lucid, and thinking too logically, I start having a hard time making crazy stuff happen.

      You said you knew you were dreaming, so you were lucid, regardless if trying to exert control worked or not.

      i think it was when i woke up that made me doubt it, it felt like waking from a regular dream, so i thought maybe it wasn't real. but i have never woken from a LD before, so i guess i wouldn't know the difference
