Was this a Lucid Dream?

[chambers]

I just heard about Lucid Dreaming last night as I was reading about it and watching videos about it just before I went to bed. I was really interested in it and I don't have a dream journal yet, but I am going to be making one. I am fairly good with remembering dreams as I can remember some dreams that happened a long time ago. Was I Lucid Dreaming or was I dreaming about having a Lucid Dream? This is what I remember from last night: I remember in my dream asking my self why the clock was showing weird symbols and not numbers. I then told my self oh it is just a dream nothing bad can happen. Then I remember my body literally levitating above my sleeping body and then looking down at my sleeping body saying oh I am lucid dreaming. I then started to fly and tried to fly through the wall/window, but it was solid. I then said I want to go meet Megan Fox and as I was just about to go down my stairs, I woke up. This all took place in my room in my own house and I was scared to leave my house as I didn't know what would happen. Was I having a lucid dream or was I having a dream about lucid dreaming? EDIT: I really want to try this again because it would just be an amazing experience. By the way, I am 16 years old.

You were lucid. A lucid dream is any dream where you are aware that you are dreaming. Although the part where you were floating reminded me a slight bit of an OBE.

So you are saying I was dreaming about having a lucid dream? It all just seemed so real and it was kind of weird seeing my sleeping body as I was in a whole new world, but I just said it's okay, I'm dreaming.

Aha, sorry, I worded that wrong. I meant to say you were lucid.

Aha, sorry, I worded that wrong. I meant to say you were lucid. In all honesty, I don't know how I got one the first night. Maybe because I fell asleep on my bed with my laptop on my lap reading and listening to videos about lucid dreaming. I also forgot to mention that I started spinning in circles because it is supposed to make it last longer. I also want to know, am I always going to start out lucid with an Out of Body Experience. That was kind of freaky, but I said I am in a lucid dream, no harm can be done. How do I get out of my house and go places in the dream such as flying through the clouds or maybe swimming with dolphins? This is the first time I have been interested in something this much in a long time. I want to try to do something like writing on my hand tonight as well because it seems like a good reality check.

You will get dream control down in no time. It just takes practice. You will probably get this lucidity thing down quickly since you are apparently a natural at it.

You were lucid!

You were lucid! How can I keep it going longer and explore more. I didn't even get out of my house I woke up before I could even go down the stairs to leave. I felt as if I were scared to leave the house because I did not know what would happen.
