Helpful Advice #2:

DON'T ask someone if you're dreaming, when you are dreaming.  Their skin will turn green and they will try to eat/kill you.

But this happens to me when I'm not dreaming!

Then resort to plan B!  Conquer the world with your mindsploding powers.

This always struck me more as Plan A.

I think lucid dreaming would be a very fun experience, but I'm not sure if I could manage it.  All these tricks seem to call for realizing something "off", and then proving that you're in a dream.

Unfortunately for me, I have an exceptionally strong sense of dream logic.  Regardless of how batshit things are, I see absolutely nothing out of the ordinary with them.

This includes the fact that I dream in third person.  If I happen to be in the dream at all, that is.  More often than not, I'm just this invisible floating spectator.

Again, I see nothing strange about this.  And being an invisible disembodied nonentity makes it very difficult to count your fingers or flip a light switch even if you do sense something amiss.

I seem to always know (or only remember those ones?) when I am dreaming.
I can never control them though. :'(
It's extremely weird. It's like waking up one morning in the middle of the day, fully dressed and doing something. You know what your house looks like, you have dream friends and family, you remember your whole life and what you are doing at the moment. Then suddenly you realize "Hey, this isn't my house!"
Then it's kind of like watching a movie. Sometimes 1st person, sometimes 3rd person, sometimes just a blurry camera type thing. But I always seem to follow one person in my dreams. It's like you have two minds, one watching the whole thing amused, the other actually walking around in your dream. I have actually been able to mix them together sometimes, but then I am in some kind of dream state and I still can't control them. The only benefit of this, it seems, is that I can wake up whenever I want to and that I always remember them. Of course, this is a pretty normal example. It gets alot weirder with my dreams.

It's kinda like being engrossed in a book and then thinking in third person the rest of the day.

My recent discovery of lucid dreams, and my subsequent attempts to have one have been foiled by my subconscious. For a start, my dreams are very blurry and out of focus, and I feel quite disconnected. Secondly, I nearly always dream that I'm playing a computer game. Thus reality checks don't work. Its not "Oh, thats not right, I must be dreaming" its "Oh, thats weird. What do you expect, its a videogame"

Are you sure pinching yourself works? All I have to do is think about the dream to realize I'm dreaming.

Think about what you are doing in the dream.  For example, if you are at school and it is clear that you have a vacation, then why are you there!  It is sortof hard to think clear when you're dreaming though.  You could be counting the hairs on a giant's ass and not realize it.
