I did the reality test in real life, by throwing something in the air and catching it, (Chapstick of all things) and sure enough I tried it a dream (too see if I was dreaming), but nothing unusal happened, but after I did it in the dream I thought thought, "This sucks Im dreaming, but the test ain't working, because its still coming down as normal.

I couldn't control the dream.

Would this still be considered a lucid dream?, and how can I improve my reality test?
