Was it a Luscid Dream?

Hi, I've been into Lucid Dreaming for like 2 weeks and had some dreams that I can remember very well and some days ago I had a dream when I was hunted by some black ghost or something that was screaming and suddenly I stopped and though "If this is a dream I can just do whatever I want and can change this nightmare into something good" I punched myself on the arm to see if it hurted and when I noticed it didn't I started to punch my face and I felt no pain so I though "OMG this actually is a dream!" I started to jump and tried to fly. I actually started to get higher of the ground but it felt more like no gravity and then I was in some japanese shopping center (don't know how I know it was japanese) and flied around in there, then I woke up. I slept at a friends house and when I came home I went straight to the bed and that's when I had the dream. I also had another dream before this when I was flying but then I had red like fire wings and it felt more real than in the Lucid Dream but I didn't know I was dreaming untill I woke up. Was this a Lucid Dream? How can I make it more realistic and have better control?

The only requirement for a dream to categorized as lucid is "knowing you are dreaming while you are within the dream." It sounds to me like you knew it was a dream, so yes...you were lucid. The control will come with time. It takes practice and experience to increase your level of control. It took me several lucids before I got the hang of flying. For realism, you just need to stabilize the dream and clear things up. Once you become lucid, immediately perform some stabilization techniques to fix the clarity. Congrats on your success and just keep practicing!
