Thank you for the tips! I keep thinking back on it, and I guess maybe the reason I don't feel like I was 100% lucid is because I didn't feel in control at all... I feel like I was watching myself do what I was doing, as opposed to seeing through my own eyes... I don't know if that's "normal" for someone having a lucid dream for the first time, but it's how it felt.
