Ok, so ive been sorta reading these forums for ages, never posted cause i was never close to a lucid dream, but last night, i went to sleep a bit late, and this morning my mom woke me up to see if we need to go to the doctors about my throat, well i fell back asleep. I'm not sure what it was, i was in the bathroom looking in a mirror and i just smiled and said this is a dream, and i started being real carful not to wake up. Well, the first thing i did was jump off my porch and fly, it was the first time i ever flew in a dream too(I didn't go to high though).

Now, I woke up while talking to some one, sorta realized i was awake mid sentence, the first thing i did was type out what happened so I would not forget. Well, what I am wondering is how do you know you where truly in control, because now that I am awake i realized a few odd things, like I didn't do what I've always thought I would do, I didn't even leave my yard, and I didn't act in a way that I thought I would while dreaming, and along the coarse it seemed like i sorta forgot. Another thing to note is, my first flying dream, i could hover, not really fly, and only a foot or two, this was actually flying, well anyways, my first flying dream i could barely control it, and thats how it was in this dream, It seemed like as the dream moved on I could no longer fly easily and i started just hovering again.
