As this example shows, it should chiefly raise your credence for being in a dream and e.g. having the ability to levitate regardless of what your 'companion' does. Though if you happen to remember that next time, do recall the possibility of an expected value calculation as well.
While this predates my reading Less Wrong, I've certainly had more lucid dreams, and somewhat fewer where I took my sensations as a refutation of the dream hypothesis, since I noticed that this fails to hold.
