Project Sanctuary...? (Non-lucid)

NON-DREAM DREAM LUCID

Now this one was weird. It was basically a False Awakening. I was laying in bed and I decide to try the whole Project Sanctuary thing. (To sum it up in a sentence, it's trying to have vivid, dream-like visualization while you're awake.) Two times I get kinda close trying to pull a scene together, but my head kinda vibrates and snaps me out of it. The third time I succeed, though, and I am in a forest with a big truck or SUV. This was a pretty hazy dream overall, I kinda hovered around the area as the truck moved around, then I floated higher in the air. I thought of going into space and closed my eyes, but when I opened them I woke up.

Now... do I count this as lucid? I was aware that whatever I experienced wasn't real, but I was convinced this was because I was visualizing in waking life, not because I was dreaming. It's kind of a weird one...
