Was I lucid dreaming?

[Dality]

So lucid dreaming was something I've been interested in for a while but haven't had the time to really devote to learning. (final exams will do that to ya!) So last night I couldn't sleep and started to read up on lucid dreaming and went to bed convinced I would have a lucid dream. I woke up and usually my dreams are very clear but they weren't last night although I do remember having a dream in which i thought "hey! I'm in a dream" and got excited but then it faded into a regular dream. This memory is unclear and I'm not sure if I imagined it or not.... any help would be appreciated!

Yeah. I've had that too. I usually dont even remember my dreams, but if I do I just somehow know its a dream. My lucid dream 'memory' didn't feel like it. But soon after it I had one, but that could've been hypnagogic imagery though. Who knows...
