Does this count?
From what I've heard about Lucid Dreams, you're able to control yourself in them and are aware that you're dreaming. I've had one or two dreams in the past where I was in control of my actions, but not aware that I was in a dream. Recently, the opposite happened, I couldn't control myself, but I knew (or half-knew) that I was dreaming.
For example I went into my room to feed my pets, I had a mouse, a fish, several lizards and a Chinchilla. And while most of them could talk, my brain seemed to pipe up in the middle of the scene 'No, no silly, you have one lizard and a fish, where'd these other animals come from?'. And later when I ended up falling into a river, I lost some of the contents of my pockets, namely a DS, but then remembered I'd never picked those things up, and they were still sitting on the computer stand outside of the dream, so I didn't need to get upset over it.
So is that Lucid Dreaming, or just some weird form of Dream ADD or something?

Lucid Dreaming simply means to be aware that you're dreaming while you're dreaming.
Dream control is a separate issue. So yes, in the last dream you described, you were lucid.
Congrats!!
And :welcome:

Really? Wow! That's actually pretty awesome. Now if only I could make myself aware on purpose. X3 I should try that tonight.
Thank you very much!

Welcome To DV
Lucid as they said above is to simply be "Aware" which you achieved so well done.
With practice you will be able to fully experience the Dreamworld so be persistent and keep trying.
There is a whole world out there that no one but you can touch....Literally :)
