Dream. I think I was lucid. Not sure.

I had a dream last night, I can't remember so many details, only that I was dreaming within my dream (No, this is not an Inception joke), and I suddenly asked myself if I was dreaming, and to which I replied: "Yes!" I suddenly felt this warm, tingeling feeling in my whole body, and I was sure I was now lucid, but I couldn't really control anything. I remember I wanted to fly, but I only held something, which looked like an old N64 game in my hands, and threw it into the air to catch it again. It turned to black, and I awoke shortly after that. I'm not sure if my brain had fooled itself to think it wasn't really lucid 'cause of the dream within a dream-thing, but if felt different than a normal dream, and I've never had that warm, tingeling feeling before. Was I lucid, close to lucid, maybe?

Welcome to the Dreamviews forum! If you are aware within a dream (on some conscious level where you can "feel" yourself in the dream), and make a conclusion that you are dreaming, you are lucid.

Often when you become lucid, you can get a rush of excitement or another strong emotion, just from the realization that you're asleep. So if you were aware, my guess is that, yes, you had a lucid.
