Okay, I just had a "lucid" dream about a half an hour ago. I had been riding my bike in a real-life country setting about 10 miles away from my real house and then suddenly the road turned into one that neighbors my own house which is in the city. I stop in front of my house to ponder what is going on and come to the conclusion that I am dreaming. I can suddenly control my movements but I cannot change anything else and it still doesn't feel as vivid as real life. I try to make a spoon fly to me but that doesn't work. I then do my reality checks to try to give me control and make things clearer but they don't work!? I have RC written on my hand and I keep looking at it but ot never changes. I also try closing my eye and looking at my nose but I can still see it. I don't remember if I tried pinching my nose and trying to breathe. A kid from work then came to me in the dream and starting asking me all about LD's and I was explaining them to him in the dream. So, how come I didn't have control, and how come it wasn't extremely vivid? Are my reality checks faulty? Thanks........
