Welcome, Taken!
If you are lucid, then, yes, you are yourself. Your dream body may not resemble your waking-life body, or might not be in a body at all, but you are still "You." This still holds true if you are watching your dream unfold from a distance (like a movie), or the scenes you are experiencing hold no similarity at all to reality.
Ultimately, whatever is going on in a dream, no matter how exotic, it is still going on inside your head... when lucid you know that. So then you are not only aware that this is your dream, but you are aware of your presence in it, your ownership of it. Indeed, even if you believe that you go to "other places" when you dream, when lucid you are doing so fully aware of your own presence; You are witnessing the adventure. Lucidity means that you are witnessing your dream, and that witness is your self -- no matter how well you might be disguised!
I know this may not really be what you were asking, but you included the word "identity" in your OP, so I figured this was worth mentioning.
