Hi I am a new guy here :-)

Anyway I have been trying to get lucid dreaming for years (I am really slow), and I guess it started to pay off as I start to have better dream recall and few times getting really near to lucid.

Back to topic - I don't have much experience with lucid dreams (I had two DILDs that lasted for 2secs, if you know what I mean), so I am not sure what I experienced last night was really lucid dream or just very weird imaginations with visual.

Basically, I had a vivid dream (non-lucid), and I woke up to record it (my method of recording at end of post). As I finished recording my dream, I drifted back to dream naturally, and it happened to be the same as previous dream. Because of this I also quickly gained consciousness (become lucid?) in the dream. However, I noticed in the same time that I continue to feel my sleeping body. The dream (?) was pretty much like the usual dreams I had, not as vivid as I would imagined as a lucid dream, and the feeling of sensing my body makes me wonder whether I was really dreaming. Assuming that it was really lucid, I tried to teleport to Maldives (which I just went last month), and I did success. However I felt that it was very un-dreamlike (again with the feeling of my sleeping body), so I tried methods that people suggest to stabilize the dream - spinning, flying, etc. but could not change that feeling. Then somehow I went back to the original dream setting involuntarily. At that point, I woke up, being fascinated, continued recording the dream.

Again, I drifted back to sleep and tried to imagine the scenery of Maldives. Same as before, I successfully saw the graphics of Maldives but yet still feel my sleeping body. This time I tried to jump into the water, and tried to get rid of the sleeping body feeling. When I looked back up from the water, to my surprised, I saw a female ghost figure standing at the water bungalow. Just like in the horror movie, she was wearing white dress, her long hair covered her face, and her hands rest beside her body. It was not as terrifying as I imagined, but I also remembered the teaching from "Creative Dreaming" by Patricia Garfield, that we should try to confront and conquer our danger/enemy in dream. So, I tried to hold up my fist and punch at her, while I felt my heart started to beat quickly. However, I could not hit her, and she remained some gap between us and motionless. After a while I got bored, so I tried to talk to her again. Again, she did not response to me. So I decided to "wake up" and recorded the dream. Again, the whole time I didn't lose the consciousness, the images or the feeling of my sleeping body.

It surely was weird. Given my inexperience in lucid dream, could anyone suggest what was actually happening? I checked on the time of my phone, it was 2 something in the morning, not the usual time I would have dream. I also believed this dream exhausted me, so I didn't manage to recall any dream after that, and woke up to a very tired body.

P/S:
My method to record is pretty unique, that I connect a bluetooth (Apple) keyboard to my phone, so I can record my dreams without even opening my eyes. I got this inspiration from "Creative Dreaming" by Patricia Garfield, who suggested the best recall is which to record with eyes closed. In fact I just started using this method two days ago so my special experience might have to do with this. Using keyboard is natural to me because I can blind type and type as fast as my mind goes, so I won't miss a beat and can record to as much detail as my mind was running them. Also, during the record there is minimal movement - only extending my arms to grab and place the keyboard, and I simply rest the keyboard on my stomach in the original sleeping position.
