Realization inside a dream is a big step. That is when most people loss the control or the dream all together. I have found that things tend to get a little clearer when I start to test the dream out. It's the whole "okay I'm dream so now what" mentallity I have aquired. I have found out that the more thought and awareness of thought durring dreams leads to a much clearer dream. This has lead me to much more realistic dreams, and further on into projecting from them.
