Thread: I Think I just did it for the first time: You Decide

I was taking a nap at around 5:00 this afternoon and I was really tired. I started to fall asleep and after about 10 minutes I felt myself sink into the bed a little and became paralyzed. I began to hear strange sounds and saw flashes of colors. This scared me so I opened my eyes and fought it until I regained some movement. I started to fall asleep again and next thing I knew, I was in the old west. I thought to myself that I was just picturing this in my mind and that it wasn't actually a dream. I was very aware and was making conscious decisions. I was fighting Some bad guy that had a large beard who was trying to kill me and my friend. I remember not having a gun so I thought really hard about one and closed my eyes (in my alleged dream) when I opened them I was holding a revolver. Then I needed ammo, same process. I remember the "dream" being a little hazy and It had a weird "hitch" to it. I could look around kinda freely, but my vision panned around slowly and hitched a little almost like a video game running a little slow. I remember it being clear, but not extremely life like. I didn't have one of those "WOW EVERYTHING IS SO VIVID AND REAL" moments that many dreamers report. I am pretty sure that this was in fact a lucid dream, but I am a little confused as to why I didn't think that is was a dream. I kept thinking "oh I am just very deep in thought and am just imagining this happening." but I do remember walking around and making decisions and fighting in this "dream"

So what do you think? was this my first lucid dream??
