So last night I was dreaming, and preformed a reality check. However, once I realized, I found myself unable to control anything 
Why is this?
Controlling the dream usually takes training. I’m still having problems with it.
Oh ok, so do I just keep trying?
Yup. There are some guides somewhere on the forum on how to control the dream. Here are some examples on how to control the dream:
If you wanna spawn and object, look for a box and imagine that your object is in the box.
If you wanna teleport, find a door and decide that behind that the location you want to go to is behind that door. I once used a bus stop as an elevator to my desired location 
If you wanna fly, get a jetpack or jump off a building.
If you wanna meet someone imagine that the next person you meet is him/her.
Opening doors and imagining what you want to be behind the door seems to be a good technique.
Techniques like that seems to work best for controlling dreams. If you cant come up with a way to do something. Write here what it is that you want to do and I’ll try to give examples on how to.
Thanks
