Thread: Did I have a lucid dream?

I am very new to lucid dreaming. I have been interested in it for a while, and thought about trying it before after hearing about devices to help you become lucid, but haven't ever had any experience. I think I had one lucid dream last year after I learned about it, but it only lasted a few seconds, I think I got excited and woke up. Yesterday I was reading about WILD (Wake-Induced Lucid Dreaming). I slept last night for 4 and a half hours, then woke up for an hour. When I went back to bed, I thought about trying this, even though I wasn't expecting much, but here is what I remember. I was laying there, and all of the sudden it felt like my muscles were starting to twitch and vibrate. This got more intense, and then I started to see (at least I think I did) hypnagogia, specifically I was seeing shapes. I started to try and control them and create one solid shape, and that morphed into an omega symbol (even though that wasn't what I was trying to create) on the wall of my bedroom. I think the whole time from when I noticed the vibration to being in the dream at least felt like about 30 seconds. Going into the dream I felt like I just woke up in bed. I didn't specifically say "I'm dreaming," but I knew that I was because my bedroom was different. I said "clarity now" because I had read that somewhere yesterday, although I don't think it did anything. Next I left my bedroom and said out loud "I want to talk to myself" and met my inner child, but I don't remember what we said (my dream recall isn't the best yet). I then asked to talk to my wife, and she showed up. Although it wasn't my plan, things got a little graphic, and this is when I think I started to lose control of the dream. Sex in lucid dreaming is something I am hoping to do, but it wasn't what I was planning to do right away. Eventually that scene changed to something else that I didn't think about either. Is it possible to have a dream start out lucid, then get caught up in the dream and lose lucidity? Does this sound like I was lucid at all, or is it possible for me to dream that I was lucid even when I wasn't, since I was hoping to have a lucid dream?

Thanks for any insight.
