Hey ive been attempting lucid dreaming for a few months now, and not much results yet.

Is this a lucid dream?

I was driving along a normal road, then it became very up and down, with massive hills and after a few seconds it was like i was driving up and down a mountain. Then it was like i was flying up and down it, reely fast. Around this time i began to notice my body.
My dream then went dark, and it felt like was falling out of the sky, and my body was vibrating pretty intensly. This was when i sed to myself something along the lines of "im entering a lucid dream, this is sleep paralysis". I thought to myself that i was entering a dream through the WILD technique, though i was actually already dreaming. I decided to open my 'dream eyes' as i thought i had closed my eyes in my dream, but instead i opened my real eyes and woke up.

2nd question, i cant seem to remember to do reality checks in my dreams. Im doing them throughtout the day whenever i think of it, but this never transfers to my dreams. Any help? THanks
