      true lucid dreaming, or just a dream about it?

      So I just had my second recent lucid dream. My first success was using Yoshi's WILD technique which worked brilliantly the first night I tried it, at least into SP and slightly lucid.

      The other night I had another lucid dream (I think), but this was dream-induced (DILD). Basically I realized I was dreaming because crazy stuff was happening. I was like "holy sh** I'm dreaming!" I remember consciously deciding things, like seeing someone I know and trying to get closer to them to have a conversation. However it seemed like my control was limited because I was unable to reach the person. Also, I went outside, looked at the sky, and jumped in an attempt to fly, but was unable to jump hardly at all, much less fly.

      The lack of total control left me wondering -- did I really have a lucid dream? Or did I have a dream about having a lucid dream?

      And I'm sorry for the concluding question if it causes you any self-doubt:
      How do we ever know that we've truly had a lucid dream, when in fact we could only be dreaming about being in a lucid dream?

      A quick side question: When I got too excited in the lucid dream about being lucid, I remembered to rub my hands together. My whole body (in the dream) tingled, a feeling similar to how I felt during SP. Does this happen to anyone else?

      Uh, yeah, this is the same thing... or similar... I had once in November. I was aware that my thoughts would cause events, and I was aware that a dream was in progress, and yet it for whatever reason, it didn't seem to "click" for me. I don't think I even had as much progress as you, as I didn't even really have the thought ability to 'attempt' anything. It was literally like if I was an absolute observer of a dream to a point that I didn't even have the ability to interact.

      That happens to me in dreams too, whether they're lucid or not. When I was younger I was taught to say 'boo' to scare away well... scary things. That carries over into my dreams, but I can hardly get the word out when I try. It just won't come. And also, last night I had my first lucid. First thing I did after my dream chack was jump to try and fly, but I barely got offf the ground. I still floated, and soon began to rise higher, but jumping was really hard for some reason.
