Was this a WILD or a dream about WILD?

Hey, Today I took a nap after my classes and slept from about 3-7pm. I had a couple of dreams, and one of them I guess was a False Awakening, as I woke up on a different couch in the house with some members of my family present that weren't actually in the house at the time. I tried to get back to sleep instantly and attempt to WILD. It felt like I had rolled off of the couch and onto the floor, but kept my eyes closed anyways. Soon after felt the familiar vibrations that felt like I was transitioning into a lucid dream. I recall a vivid scene of me landing on top of a really big board game of some sort. I quickly looked at my hands and tried to rub them together to stabilize the dream. The experience lasted about 2-3 seconds before I felt myself being pulled out of the dream. I then found myself on the couch again (Not the one I went to sleep on, False Awakening #2), I attempted to re-enter the lucid dream and felt those similar vibrations nearly instantly and found myself in the dream again, which only lasted another couple of seconds before I was pulled out. Then I find myself on the floor, rolling around trying to become lucid. Soon afterwards, I find myself in the kitchen grabbing some food for my nephew (he wasn't in the house today at all). After all this, I wake up on the right couch, where I went to sleep in the first place and realized what had happened. Now I'm wondering, did I actually become lucid those two times, for a few seconds, or was it all just me dreaming about it? I've only had one LD in the past, and it lasted somewhere between 10-15 minutes. Thanks!

Lucid dreaming is the act of knowing that you are dreaming. You may not know that you was in a dream within a dream but you knew you was dreaming. So yea...You was lucid. It just kinda odd that you did not thought about if you were dreaming when you was on the different couch. Maybe you was too much into it to notice at the time? Seem like a silly mistake that could have ended up making you lucid for a longer period.

Also, most of the days that I stop by my dads house after my classes are over, I take a couple hour nap on the couch in the living room. Today I decided to go on a couch in another room, just in case I wanted to try and WILD and family turned on TV,etc, and disturbed me. So when I had a False Awakening on the wrong couch, it felt perfectly fine as I forgotten I had fallen asleep in another room. Today seemed like a good learning experience though. It felt like I'm closer to achieving WILD's more frequently, as I stop trying to control my breathing/mind, and just remind myself that I will become lucid and start focusing on the transitional feelings (Vibration,etc).
