Thread: False Lucid Dream? If not, then it's my first one!

Well, first of all, this is my first post here. So... uh... Hello Dreamviews.

Now, my question. Last night, I had what I think was a lucid dreaming, but it was hardly what I expected. I think I might have just imagined lucidity because I've been obsessing over it for the past few days (). Here's how the dream went, as far as I can remember (I think it's kinda long... ya don't have to read the whole thing):

My dream begins, and I'm in some house I've never been in. I think the dream actually began at some point before this, but I'm not sure. Something prompted me to do a reality test, so I looked at the clock on the microwave that was conveniently right next to me. I looked at it, then shut my eyes for a few seconds, then opened them, and the time was completely different. Now, here, it didn't happen as I thought it would. I was kinda excited about it, but acted more like it was perfectly normal, it seemed. Nonetheless, I decided to take the dream world for a test drive. I hopped up and down, kinda floated, then I tried to fly up, and I hit the ceiling. I tried to fly through it (heh), and succeeded partially, but then the scene completely changed. I showed up in a really big building, and I got kinda disoriented, so I looked at my hands. Things seemed a lot clearer once I did, but I looked at the ground and everything started shifting. But I looked up and one of my teachers was there, asking me where I wanted to go. I thought for a second, and said "Antarctica." And she gave me a ticket to Antarctica. I then noticed a whole lot of kids my age walking around me. I kept losing focus, so I tried verbalizing my intentions, like I'd read here. I told myself to increase lucidity and clarity, and it worked. I walked outside, and decided to test out the world further. I pointed at someone and said, "Shoot him into the air about 2000 feet," and he did just that. I started laughing hysterically, and then, at about that point, I woke up.

Now, the problem. It seems like I was perfectly lucid the whole time when you read it, but when I woke up, I felt as though I had never had free will or control. I'm not even sure if I really recognized that I was dreaming. Is it possible to have a false lucid dream?

Also, one thing I forgot. I couldn't make things appear in the world, like I've heard about some people doing. I also tried to "summon a dream guide," which was one of the suggested dream dealios, and that didn't work. Any advice?

Either way, it was a cool dream.
