Second lucid in a while

My dream was I was in the back of a van with companions :P. We're all normally talking. All of a sudden convos start getting :shock:. So, i realize I'm dreaming and do the hand test. My hand started getting really really effed up. Like, my fingers were like totally distorted. I told my companions so they started trying to do crazy stuff :P. I tried to spawn a knife by holding my hand behind my back a reavealing it to my self. One of my companions was watching me fail over and over again so he said "Dude,u got the grip right, but the whole point in this is to spawn a KNIFE, not the hand." -_-'. I kept trying for like 5 more mins until my mom woke me up for school -_-. i just couldn't get it. I had faith and believed in my self like the tutorials said to do but NOTHING. So, I guess I have to develop a new believing strategy :P. Earlier in the dream I was supposed to meet a scientist at a warehouse for a talk. 5 mins into the convo, this mob starting attacking the ware house. The date was a little after December 23, 2012 :P, so times were hectic. HAHAHAHAHA! I remember while they were attacking, I started fighting Saints Row the third style, with a grenade launcher :P. I called my indian driver (from real life) to come and pick me up in the middle of the fight:P. Unfortunately the scientist died and I dont remember what was the meeting was about. I actually became lucid during or after the fight. But I didnt have time to capture the moment cause i was in a battle obviously :P. It's a good thing i did not capture the moment, because if i did,I would have gotten excited and woken up. Anyways, so after i killed them all (:banana:), i wanted to end the dream. Then my driver came -_-(of all times). Here's how i knew i was definitively dreaming, as soon as i opened the door, i looked at him. His face looked like one of those aliens from Men in Black. I mean like really ugly. So after my :shock: ed face, we went to meet up with my people. :D

Techniques used: Not getting excited once realized I was lucid.
Believing in the power of the mind :P
Hand test
Wrote this down in journal as soon as i awoke.
Problems: Couldn't control any aspect. except the fighting scene. I have no idea how i did that :P
Questions: Why didn't it work in the end? i couldn't spawn a knife, simple right?

Noone can say why! You believed, but it didnt work. Maybe try to ask the dream characters? Always search for alternative methods, one will be right!

Like Zelzahim said, instead of trying to spawn the knife in your hand, maybe there was a knife lying on the floor by your feet ;).
