Does this count as a Lucid Dream?

So a few weeks ago, I attempted a MILD for the first time. I laid in bed and kept saying to myself "The next time I am dreaming, I will relize that I am dreaming." Then once I felt like I could fall asleep any second, I started to visualize a dream scene. (I fell asleep during the process)

Then later on, In one of my dreams, I said to myself "I'm dreaming!" Then everything went black and it was just a black screen. I still was in the dream I think and was aware that I was dreaming but I didn't seen a damn thing. Then I woke up.......sad huh?

So I was wondering, does this count as my first Lucid Dream, or was it like a fake one cuz I didn't see anything? Advice would be helpful!!

Since you were aware that you were dreaming, it was a lucid dream. Even though you could not see anything.

Yes I agree. It's classed as "limbo land" when you are lucid but no dream has emerged around you, usually a dream will begin to emerge it just needs time to form or sometimes you can be there for a while..thats a good time to practice your meditation or anything else you want to do :)

Better I've managed! I like your LD Count, hahaha

*Better than I've managed

Yep, it was a lucid as long as you knew you were dreaming. If you happened to become excited or feel a "rush" of awareness, that makes it even easier to tell whether you were lucid or not. :)

Control and lucidity are completely different things, so even if you couldn't see or control any aspects of the dream, it was still an LD. So, congrats! :boogie:
