And I'm taking it you realize you're dreaming while in the middle of a dream? DILDing?[/b]
Yes, that would be it. I have no real strict dream sign to tell me that I'm dreaming, though. Rather, I'll see something that doesn't even begin to make sense, and reason out that I must dreaming. It tends to be different from night to night. A few days ago, I had dreamt I was in the middle of Japan. It didn't take me all too long to realize that there was no concievable way a broke high-school student could have got to Japan in the few hours since I fell asleep. Thus, I must be dreaming.

Dream Recall is also a bit of a problem for me. Obviously, I remember having the dream. However, I tend to only remember bits and peices of them when I wake up. I'll remember that I'm in a certain setting, or that I performed a major action, but all the small stuff is completely lost. If I was aware during the dream, I remember that clearly, as I usually wake up shortly after. Are there any techniques, besides keeping a dream journal (which I'm already doing), to help improve this?

Also, I guess I should add, that while I am aware that I am dreaming quite often, it is not exactly what you guys refer to as lucid. My basic train of thought is:

"That purple bookshelf just ate my cat."
"That can't happen, I must be dreaming."
"That's nice, I'm dreaming."

And 99% of the time, it's just left at that. I know I am dreaming, every now and again I may think "Hey, I'm dreaming. I want to walk into the neighbours house, not mine. Just to see." I may try and succeed (rarely) or I may fail, in which case I wake up. However, it's not until I am awake that I fully realize that I can try just about anything, because I am dreaming.
