was it a lucid dream?

Well about a week ago I was really tired and so I figured I was going to take a small nap on my couch. So before I feel to sleep I though of somethings I wanted to dream about. also I said to myself I want to have a lucid dream and remember it. so what happened was I remember dreaming of this hot girl lol and when I woke up I was really happy cause I actually dreamed about something I wanted to. but the thing is, is im not sure I knew I was dreaming? crap. But I did dream about something I wanted to. so my question is was this a lucid dream ?

nope. sorry. It's excellent progress though :)
A lucid dream is when you are aware that you are dreaming while actually dreaming.
For example, if you were to look around right now and realize that you were dreaming, and infact asleep in bed, that would be a lucid dream. (obviously this would be done in a dream :-P )

But it sounds like you pulled off a dream incubation! Keep trying and I'm sure you'll keep improving. ;)
