Hi
I'm not quite sure what you are saying. However, I might be able to help.
I have dreams where I know I'm dreaming, but I don't do anything about it. Sort of semi-lucid. Or lucid, but never logical enough to change the dream, something like that. With these dreams, I stay in the dream and carry it through. I'm "me" in the dream, not particularly aware that the physical "me" is asleep somewhere else.
I also have very lucid dreams, where I'm totally aware of the physical "me" sleeping.
Funny the very lucid ones happened first. Only recently the part-lucid dreams happen.
Personally, I enjoy them both, and learn from them both too.
If you want total lucidity, it's the usual advice - keep a dream journal religiously, use affirmations, think about your dreams on a regular basis, do reality checks frequently and sincerely, will yourself to lucidity.
My very lucid moments just seem to happen to me - but I do think about dreams an awful lot.
Good luck!

The dream journal and saying you are dreaming may work for some people, but I never did either, it just sort of 'happened'.
I think it came forth from the desire to change my fate in some of the dreams. Plus my ability to fly is kind of a give-away of the fact that I'm dreaming and not awake (I was able to fly in non-lucid dreams in the past).
And you dont need to say 'I am in the real world'. If you are dreaming you are not in the real world :). You should just stay 'alert' in your dream. If unlogical things happen (like you enter a building, but the inside is actually an outside location, or a wrong building); stuff like that, that will tell you you are dreaming. Just try and follow your own path, do what you want to do. Eventually it will work.
