True. But is it possible that sometimes even the dreamer might not have the correct answer?

I know that there are some dreamers out there, including myself who have dreams where you are thinking or even teaching someone about Lucid dreaming but, that doesn't mean that you are aware.
That's true.

If you think there was something that caused you to question whether or not you believe that it was a lucid dream than, chances are, you may have been lucid dreaming. Btw, I have had similar occult dreams, years ago. My advice is to look inward to get the answer to your burning question. I know it's clear as mud.
Looking inward is always good advice! Also sometimes looking outward works. For example, I think scientists can probably detect differences in the brain state of people who are having LDs versus people who are having regular dreams. If that's true then, at least in theory, that would be a way to tell the difference. Unfortunately, most of us don't have access to the equipment necessary to do that. But probably in a few years that technology will be available to everyone for a reasonable price.
