      Was I lucid?

      I had a dream last night where I looked at my hands as a reality check and my fingers were disappearing and reappearing so I thought "Hey, I'm dreaming." After I realized it I started telling myself to stay calm and focus on something as to stay inside the dream. The thing about it is, it still felt as though it was just a dream and I didn't really have any control over it whatsoever, like I was just having a dream about becoming lucid instead of actually becoming lucid. This is the second time it's happened and it felt like that both times. Was it a lucid dream?

      Yes, it was a lucid dream, since you did realize that you were dreaming. It's still a lucid dream even if you feel that you don't have much control, if any at all. That comes with some experience.

      read a lot of things on the site. i find that the most helpful. u can even search the site. =p i find it even more helpful than asking a question in a new thread. look into lucid dreaming a lot if you think you are interested. the more knowledge, the easier it is to get better at it with practice. hope i could help.

      My opinion is, if you don't KNOW you had a lucid, you didn't have a lucid. Screw the "you knew you were dreaming so it counts as a lucid" crap. That doesn't count as a lucid dream

      You will know when you have a real one..

      The defintion of a lucid dream is to realize you are dreaming while in a dream. It doesn't require god-like dream control, completely logical thinking, etc.

      As you have more LDs, you will find you have more control and more clear thinking. This is because your conscious mind gets used to the way dreams feel.

      Congratulations!

      I've been counting that kind as near lucids, since I realize I'm dreaming but don't really break away from the "haziness" of non-lucids (for lack of a better definition) and never get to do much of anything afterwards.
      Things have been becoming increasingly clearer with each new dream so, whatever you call it, it's a good thing, imho.
      Congrats!

      Dude what kind of question is that? If you were lucid you will know it.
