After multiple occasions of going lucid (using DILD) only to wake up instantly, I finally had my first full-blown, sustained lucid dream a few days ago. Last night I had my second big lucid dream.

Here's the thing that's I'm hung up on: Even after going lucid, I don't remember to do all the things I plan on doing while I'm awake. I even accept some abnormalities on the dream world as if they were normal (IE, buildings in the wrong place versus the real world). I just don't seem to act as I had planned. It's as if I'm not all there... not 100% conscious in my dream.

Yet at the same time, I'm fully aware that I'm in a dream. On the two major lucid dreams, I gained lucidity after doing the nose check (pinching my nose shut and trying to breath) and (upon gaining lucidity) checked my hands to see the "melting" effect. In both occasions, the first thing I do is get airborne, as that seems like the quickest (and funnest!) way to travel.

But I just don't seem to be as in control as I had expected.

The two possibilities I'm thinking are this:
A) I'm not really lucid, and only having a dream ABOUT being lucid.
B) I am lucid, but only some-what. With practice I will become more conscious during my lucid dreams in the future, thus having more control over myself

I'm hoping it's the latter and not the former.

Has anyone else had this type of experience? Is thus just normal for a beginning oneironaught (not sure if I spelled that right), or do most people have 100% control of themselves with full waking memory while in their dreams right off the bat? Does this even make sense to anyone? haha.
