Thread: My first lu- Wait what?

So, I have no idea how the heck this happened; I'm not sure if it's lucid or a dream or what.

So, I was in a dream. My family went to rob Walmart VIA Sewers (I hope I'm not the only one with weird thoughts) and I stayed behind and slept. I woke up(Still in dream) to my brother saying see ya since he had to go, then my mom saying that she was happy he got to win two turns at a game before he left (last night apparently they played some game) After that, I took a nap (in the dream) and in that dream of me dreaming in a dream, I told my sister "Why are you smiling? Am I lucid???" I checked, and surely I was. Lightswitches, pinched nose and the fingers. She said "No, what are you talking about??" But I knew. I had little to no control though. I said "take me to a city" in reply, someone said "Okay, -insert his smart remark here-" (insert it. Lol.) So, I went to a city and uh... walked. I then went back to my house yard and saw him. I forgot what he looked like though. (By the way, this felt like an hour!) He told me that rubbing my hands together will help me get a dream to stop fading. I asked if he could take me somewhere else, he said "No, you can do it now. You have your town here." But I felt like I had no real control of the dream. Then he said "Oh yeah, you'll hear -how he explained- type of sound when you exit." Then he left, then my -lucid/dream- stopped, I heard the noise, then woke up in a store. I checked for a false awakening and I checked my fingers, yup they were fine. Pinched my nose, yep I couldn't breathe through it. Did a light switch, yup it worked. And pinched my cheek. Ow it hurt. I was talking to my nephew (he was also partly into it, just saying at some part that at home my mom was worried for me.) and he said that he had a weird dream, and I thought we dream shared but he said he dreamed about something else.
Then I woke up.
For real.

So in other words... I had a dream, in that dream I fell asleep into a lucid dream where I RC'd successfully but I didn't actually think. Then I met some guy... is that me? I just felt like I was watching the dream not in it. Then I woke up back into the dream, RC'd and all the RC's FAILED, how???

So questions...
1. Why didn't I actually become lucid in the dream?
2. Who could the guy have been?
3. How did the RC's Fail?
4. Any other questions I forgot. :L

To be honest, lucid dreaming is scary to me now. If my RC's fail, how do I know I'm sleeping or awake?
Thanks
