Thread: [Help] First Ever Real Lucid Dream

I really need some advice...
Last night I had a very very different dream then I've ever experienced, I'm too embarrased to share this with anyone who I know in real life, so I thought that I'd come to the experts to see if I could get any input...
I've realized that I was in a dream a few times before, usually I end up telling everyone that it's a dream who is IN my dream so that they can be notified that they are, in fact, not real. I then proceed to plot doing things that I would never do in real life, such as saying things to people that I would only think normally. After I plot these things, I usually start to doubt if it actually is a dream, and I decide it's best to just do wake up (I can control when I wake up in these dreams, I don't know if that's normal). This time, I had a very vivid dream with 2 women, I knew 100% that it was a dream, and it was about to go very well. But JUST before it got good, I started to think of the consequences of if somebody saw me while I was having this dream and if I would say anything awkward. I then zoned out and ended up on mozilla firefox, and thinking I was awake and this was totally normal, I clicked the "return to dream" button and then was kicked out of the dream again, at which point I woke up. I have never had such a powerful dream where I felt like I was in complete control, and I remember every aspect, such as the colour of peoples' clothes etc.
Is there anything strange about this, is there any way to have more dreams like this, and is there any way to better control this? (I read some other forum topics about "reality checks") etc.
This was nothing like I have ever experienced before, and I'm really noticing how awesome dreams can be as I read around...

EDIT: Night 2 I had a weird dream about Pokemon cards (I don't know why, but it was the second one in around a week). However, I just went with the flow and never considered doing a reality check or though about dreams or anything.
