Okay, so i when to bed and woke up at 3:30 and 5:30 to record my non lucid dreams. I then went back to sleep, in that sleep i had a dream where i realized i was dreaming, i did my reality checks, but after that i realized my sleep was getting really light and i woke up. I question the dreams lucidity because i was only asleep for about 30 min and a full sleep cycle is about 90 min. If anyone could answer my question it would be very helpful.

I don't really know about the scientific side of things like the sleep cycles, but I would certainly agree that it sounds like you had a lucid dream. Try looking up the Wake Back To Bed (WBTB) technique, that might help you with your answers and for future dreams. Good luck

Thanks for the advice, I'll look into that technique.

Yes, it is a lucid dream.

A lucid dream is just defined as whenever the dreamer finds self-awareness that he/she is in a dream.

How can you better them? You can better them by stabilizing them, and practice.

Practice makes them last a lot longer.

Good luck.
