Thread: Would you consider this a lucid?

They were walking and some other kid came and stole the Dr.Pepper. Matt ran after him into a gloomy wooded area, at this point I fused into Matt and became him. The boy went into an old rusty pipe where I/Matt caught up to him and threw the kid to the ground and poured Dr.Pepper on the kids face and asked him how he liked it now. There was also a powder blue baby carriage near by filled with Dr.Pepper. Then I/Matt put the kids face into the baby carriage. After that I left with the soda and came back to the Stanley park parking lot. It was at that point I truly realized that I had became Matt and that this was a dream. I was excited because I hadn't had or remembered a dream in awhile so I called my girlfriend in order to tell her the news. I looked out to the green grass of the park and saw four guys. Three white, one black playing football. They were starting a play and one threw the ball to the others but it stopped mid flight on a stop sign, spinning the sign about as a result.

This was a dream I had a few weeks ago and I have been pondering whether it was lucid or not since. I was aware and acknowledged that I just had a dream, but the dream had not ended yet. I was actually going to call someone in the dream to tell them about the dream I just had...that hasn't ended yet...What do you guys think?

Hmm (I put the critical moment in bold)...did you realize you were still in the dream at that moment or did you realize you had been dreaming and thought you were awake (thus attempting to call someone). If even for a split second you realized you were within a dream, then it was a lucid. If you thought you were awake at the point you realized you had been dreaming then it was a Non-lucid. I hope this helped out a bit .
