Is this really happening?

Ok, so last night I dreamed I was in school, and I needed to get my class fast. Then I realized I was dreaming and I started to fly. I lost lucidity, then looked at my hands and gained it. But I'm not sure about when I was flapping my arms! It felt like I was in bed flapping. How can I tell is I actually did it in real life?

I dont think you would have, you might have had a spazm or something but I think movement of this magnitude for sleep would have certainly woken you up.

I find sometime just before I fall to sleep my legs or arms will twitch if I dream about playing football or something, but wont go through the whole movement.

I get this feeling, too. Especially when I eat lucid food, or reach out to something in front of me. I feel like my real body is moving! I suggest you ignore it--I doubt it really happens. If you don't ignore it, you may wake up!

It might be a FA, or just your mind messing with you. It is completely, totally and absolutely impossible to be moving and having a dream due to SP.

What about sleepwalking?

When I first had a long lucid dream, I felt like I was standing in my room. I felt the carpet on my toes. When I awoke I was in bed as I'd left myself. I think the sensation may have been created from your paranoia about it.
