A question that bothers me.

Guys, i've been thinking about this when i had my first lucid dream (i think it was.)
Well, on my dream i told myself "I am dreaming" BUT! I couldn't feel my body on the dream.
It is hard to explain, only my mind was controlling my body, but i couldn't control or feel my body by myself.
If i was lucid, wasn't i supposed to feel my body on the dream, just like in real life?

In this dream, did you feel like you 'clicked' into the dream? Was there a distinct difference in the way you perceived the dream after you said you were dreaming? If there was a pretty noticeable change in the dream, then you were lucid. Otherwise you might have just dreamt about lucid dreaming. This would explain why you didn't have any tactile sensations. And yes, in a lucid dream you should be able to feel just as you would in normal life. In fact, touching things is a pretty common way to prolong lucid dreams.

I'm not sure if you truly had a lucid dream, but the fact that you could remember to ask yourself if you are dreaming means your on the right track! Just keep practicing your RCs and really question whether or not you're dreaming. This should help you have a full blown LD.

So i should get this something alike "semi-lucid"?
Makes me happy to know that i am getting closer

Sometimes when you're first entering a Dream you can see through your eyes but don't feel like you're in an actual body and are just watching the Dream rather than experiencing it.
That sounds like what happened to you, if you could have stayed in just a little longer you would have felt your body sort of snap in and then been fully in.

You were very close though! About as close as you can get without being fully immersed.
