Did I just Lucid Dream?

[Roo695]

I have not lucid dreampt before but have read tutorials and experiences but never really tried them out. In my dream I was walking down a street I walk down ever morning to go to school so I know the buildings exactly expecially from the angle of the street which I was walking down. In reality there is this huge pure white building but when I walked past it in my dream it was bright orange and slightly thiner than in real life. This instantly clicked (actually I noticed it was thiner before bright orange!) but at that moment I had the thought in my head 'it's not like that in real life, I must be lucid dreaming' but then I turned and said 'I wonder if I can fly' to check if I could but this reaction felt not very controlled as if it was a natural reaction from my brain so I don't believe I had any control at this point. Just as I was about to try the dream just faded away but I DIDN'T wake up and I remember having more dreams (not lucid) at this point. Also in the dream it was VERY vivid but now I've woken up it just felt like a regular dream, is this all normal? I have been getting much more vivid dreams for the last month but have no idea why. If this happens again how could I sustain the lucidity? Cheers guys

yes thats a lucid dream because you know you were dreaming while you were thinking of that orange building, congratz just try not to do complex thing like flying when you first start because you will wakeup, and if your dream start fading away, try spinning around like when you were a kid or try rubbing your hands together until it gets more clear thats what I do when i start feeling the dream is ending.
