A really lucid dream Options

Well, I was frustrated few wees ago because when I was little I was able to fly in my dreams and now I can't. It seems that my frustration was good in a way. In one of my dreams I was telling myself 'It cannot be so hard to fly...I'm sure I can do it'. And I did it; I jumped really high, then I felt myself flying.
Unfortunately, I think I was too lucid.
I realised in my dream that I was lucid and it was a high possibility to wake up. Then I realised that I realised that I was lucid...so I woke up. At least I got the chance to remember that great feeling of being like a bird.

How can I find out now if they were ravens in disguise or just crows that, perhaps, entered the wrong dream?
Anyway, what sense can I make from a dream in which my deceased great grandfather, looking very young, dressed in a black leather jacket( (IMG:style_emoticons/default/punk.gif) he was probably with his Harley) told me that he was going to reincarnate, hoping he'll be a better man in his next life?Then he jumped out of the window.


Question: if the mind cannot stop a bad event from happenning during the dream, like falling from a cliff, or being killed by a giant dog, what happens with the body? I am asking this because I often wake up from painfull dreams crying or screaming and always feeling like the bad thing really happenned. What if I die in my dream? What if my mind simply cannot wake up, like before?
