Goddammit. Just attempted this.

I had a false awakening but none of my reality checks were working. A fricken woman came flying to my window and I was like, c'mon Shnitzuka you're dreaming!

I beckoned her over and we tried to hold hands through the glass so she could help me fly but my hands wouldn't go through.

I never became lucid and eventually I guess I "fell asleep" and had a regular dream.

Question: is it true that you can't adjust lights in a dream? Because I'm pretty sure I did that.
