Not sure if a Lucid Dream?

[KingCobra]

So I recalled 3 dreams from last night. The first 2 were vivid but the last one I recalled was the shortest but I still remember what it was about. In the dream my older brother asked me to give him a glass of water. He does that a lot in waking life so he also asked me in my dream. In the dream, I stayed quite and refused to give him a glass of water. I didn't give him a glass of water because I told myself that I am dreaming and this wasn't waking life so it didn't matter if I didn't do what he told me. So that part seemed like I was lucid, but while I was dreaming I'm pretty sure my actual self was a little awake. Don't know how to explain it but it's like 70% I was dreaming but 30% I was a little awake. And the part in which I told myself I was dreaming, it seems like as if that part came from the 30%. Either way I told myself I'm dreaming in the dream or I told myself I'm dreaming while a little awake. But after that I had no control over it. The dream started to fade away really fast. I'm not sure if that was a lucid dream but I don't think it was because I'm sure I didn't fully tell myself I'm dreaming in the dream. But instead it was more telling that to myself while a little awake but also dreaming. If it was a lucid dream then I would get excited after telling myself I'm dreaming (since it would be my first LD). But I wasn't excited and the dream faded away with me having no control over it. I didn't even do a reality check before telling myself I was dreaming. Even if this wasn't a real lucid dream, I think it still means that I could be getting closer to lucidity soon.

If you know it isn't reality then it is a lucid dream, but lucidity can come and go. Also the level can increase and decrease. I had a dream where I saw my reflection and I had the wrong color eyes, I knew I was dreaming I went to a co worker and held up my hand it was missing fingers the co worker held up their hand also missing fingers, then I went to look at my reflection and I looked like some kind of half lemur with amber eyes. But latter I saw a girl and a very tall cop, I knew I needed to disarm the cop but was afraid because he was like 6'5" so I was clearly not entirely lucid, if fully lucid I wouldn't have been afraid of a 20ft cop. So throughout the dream I was at varying levels of lucidity but during this described portion I was clearly lucid. (just not utterly lucid) However you could have a dream where someone tells you something like that you are dreaming and you say "yea I know I am" but really have no idea that you are, in this case you are not the least bit lucid. next time try something like a jump test, think your lucid jump a little in the air and expect to fall very slowly this will increase your awareness of the unreality of the dream.
