Hi, and welcome to DV!

You say you control the dream, but it sound like you only control yourself in your dream. Let me ask you this, are you aware that it's a dream as it's happening? That's all it takes to be a lucid dream. Dream control is another issue, but an invaluable tool to the lucid dreamer. There's lots of info on this website about learning more control over your dreams and the environment.

As for the bile and stuff, I don't think that's related at all. I've never slept with a magnet under my pillow before, though... I prefer amethyst! If that pukey stuff keeps up, I would see a doctor, but I've had that happen before. No big deal, IMHO

thats just the thing - i'm aware that the dreams happening but I'm not aware that it's a dream! so i can't expand what i can do very much. the most extraordinary thing that i've done is move large pieces of ice by concentrating on them.

and the barf emoticon for all's pleasure:

Then what you need are reality checks. Get into the habbit of questioning whether or not you're dreaming thoughout the day - every day! The best test I've seen is to hold your nose and try to breathe through it. Try to imagine what it would feel like if you could. If you can't, then you might be awake. After a while, it becomes habbit and you do it in your dream without thinking about it. So you check, and Whamo! Lucid! Once you know you're dreaming, then you can disregard all limitations to your ability, and learn to do anything. It's the greatest thing since sliced bread! There's lots of other ways to check, too. Check out the "Attaing Lucidity" forum for plenty of discussion on this. And don't forget the tutorials; they're pricless!
