:welcome: to dreamviews!
Hey, you've got partial lucidity. That's a great start. Perhaps, if you try to induce a lucid on purpose, you'll get better consciousness and/or more dream control. Check out the tutorials, and remember to reality check like crazy.
Something that works for some people is to come up with a mantra to repeat mentally to yourself every night before you doze off to sleep. Something like, "I will do a reality check and become lucid," tends to do the job. The exact number of repetitions varies from person to person, but about 200 works for me (though it isn't the same mantra...still in the dream recall phase).
The biggest thing with control (assuming you're fairly conscious) is expecting something to happen. For example, if you want to summon an ice cream sundae, you may try looking in the freezer. However, it will usually only work if you truly expect the sundae to be there. The same goes for every other aspect of control.
To gain more/better consciousness, you may want to perform additional reality checks, or really focus on your surroundings, or even shout out, "Increase Clarity Now!" More consciousness = better control.
Well, that's about all I've got. Sorry for the length of the post. Check out the tutorials for more info. Let me try and post a link: Click here
Success! :banana:
