I Knew I Was Dreaming But I Couldn’t Do Anything...

Date: 8/16/2019

I was in a house/castle with 3 other people, 2 being my childhood friends (Courtney and the other I can’t remember) and Katie (my bff rn). We were doing something, I can’t fully remember, we were designing clothing and painting the walls for an adventure or something like that, but then I remember we started walking away. We changed settings to my house and we were walking through my living room following my mum. I then stopped and turned to everyone (cause I was behind my mum but I front of my friends) and said “Wait, this is a dream. I can fly!” I jumped up, in an attempt to fly, but just ended up jumping like normal. I got really confused and pressed my index finger to my palm and tried pushing but it wouldn’t go through. I was then like, “Oh, this mustn’t be reality then.” And the rest of the dream I can’t remember. I just find it really weird that in the dream I knew I was dreaming, couldn’t do anything I wanted, and then thought I had just woken up and something happened to get to this point. It’s like, why did that happen? If I knew it was a dream, shouldn’t I have been able to do something? Or was it that my brain is telling me I’ll never be able to lucid dream? I’m just really confused.
