I have read the FAQ and the tutorials. I just want to ease into this so I don't do something horribly stupid. I have now come to see lucid dreaming as awareness of dreams and that you are dreaming. Some have said that lucid dreaming has nothing to do with how you can control a dream, but much feedback from the FAQ has said otherwise. I just want a definite answer of what lucid dreaming is since I get so many mixed ones. Connotation may not be the best way, but it will help me out.

I have been writing down my dreams for two weeks and I usually only remember one. I can get two if I am lucky. I realize I am semi-aware I'm dreaming. I can just look at a place and say i'm dreaming to myself. I really cannot control anything other than my own actions in my dream. I am just wondering if anyone could tell me where I should go from here.
