I've had plenty, PLENTY of lucid dreams where I know I'm dreaming, I can even wake up if I want to but...I can't control a DAMN thing outside of that. It really IS like reality because I'll know that I'm just dreaming and that I should be able to do what I want, but it is like the real world where it just happens and I can't control it. I can merely react to it like I was in the real world. No power, no nothing.

It sucks, haha
The reason it's so hard to control things is because you haven't gotten good at controlling your expectations. In a dream, whatever you expect to happen will happen, not what you hope to happen. There is a big difference. If you want to fly but you're still expecting gravity to work, you will fall. You have to overcome your expectations and expect your body to soar like a glider.

I still have a hard time with it after all my practice with lucid dreaming, and I can't always guarantee I will fly when I want to. When that happens I usually just go off and do something easier, like play with the boobs of every girl I see.
