I noticed that it seems like my mind finds a way around letting me get too lucid. *tried to study my hands and they were kinda transparent (like in Back to the Future) sometimes I get a little frustrated because I remember to look for detail but things still stay blurry. *Often times my dreams are very bright or very dark. then i figure i should stop because if I get too agitated I might lose the lucidity all together. So I just enjoy what I can. *

what I have noticed though, is that my hearing is impeccable in lucid dreams! I hear birds landing on branches, water trickling from faucets, different conversations both close and far away, even footsteps where I can tell the type of flooring beling walked on.
If you look for something in your dream with enough intent you will find it no matter what. just keep trying and I'm sure in your next LD (if you don't expect it to be blurry) then you'll find all the amazing details

the one thing you have to remember is that every LD is different from all the others you've ever had, this is due to many factors including
1) when you had the LD
2) what your psychological state was during the LD (If you had been intensely angry at someone the previous day you might have more dream control than normal)
3) your environment (you don't notice it due to your minds ingenious incorporating it into your dream but ambient real life noises are constantly being made into noises in your dream [although they're often heavily distorted] this could cause a nightmare dream that seems totally random and like you didn't induce it at all. (you hear a noise behind you in the dream [it was actually your real life cat knocking over a glass in the real world] you turn around to see what it was fearing the worst only to find a psychotic werewolf)

the list goes on.
the point: never judge your overall dream control level or clarity, () in reality you could have the worst control ever for 3 nights in a row then the next night finding yourself with more abilities than the most experienced LDr
