      Can I count this as a lucid dream? I don't know what to make of it

      Last morning I had an experience that was pretty much like the False Awakenings I tend to have once per week, but I'm not sure if it even was a dream or if I had just woken up.
      Anyway, here goes:
      I felt like I had woken up, and I was lying in bed, but like in most of my False Awakenings I had problems moving, and I moved like a snail out of bed, probably about 5% the normal speed (it took nearly half a minute just to leave the bed!).
      I looked at a shelf some distance away in my room, and I was amazed how vivid and real it looked, almost exactly like in waking life.
      So I did a somewhat unusual Reality Check where I waved my hand in front of my face, and tried to spot it - but I saw nothing!
      It was empty space in front of me no matter how much I waved my hand right in front of me, so I concluded that it must be a dream - then shortly after that I felt like I lost consciousness and suddenly I could move like normal again, and it turned out I was awake for real that time.
      But I am not sure if I dare count this as a lucid dream - every single object on the shelves looked almost identical to in waking life (I actually made a comparison when I woke up, and I don't think I could find a single noticeable difference, except maybe some of the things where slightly more to the left or right, but I'm not even sure about that), and yet I couldn't see my hand in front of my face at all and also felt that weird sensation of losing consciousness and immediately waking up, which usually only happens in my lucid dreams.

      What do you think I should make out of this?
      Can a dream really be so lifelike that it manages to make an almost perfect simulation of separate objects on a shelf?
