Thread: 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...
