Thread: Is it a lucid dream if...

Is it a lucid dream if you wake up and decide you don't like how your dream is going so you fall back asleep and change the outcome?

When I was I child, my first reoccurring dream location was like an old European boarding school or something. Every time I went back It was always a very negative and oppressive place for me (which certainty had parallels to my conscious school/life situation at the time). Anyway, many years went by and then in my early teens, I went back, and it was just as awful and oppressive and as ever. I woke up, horrified to have had the same dream after so many years had past without re-occurrence, and that I was still playing the victim role in this dream scenario. So without much thought (instinctively), I fell back asleep with the intent to alter the outcome so I could finally empower myself and be victorious in my actions.
Needless to say, it worked somehow and I have never been back there since, nor have I ever been able to do that trick again (even though I have tried with different dreams).

Why? And was this lucid? Did I really wake up or did I just dream that I did?
