Yeah, like irishcream and ophelia said, you have to realize ur dreaming for it to be a lucid dream and since you thought you may die, that probably confirms it wasnt lucid, but if you felt it veyr real, then it's called a vivid dream.

Anyway, if ur really interested in LDing (lucid dreaming) you should take a look at the tutorials in the forum and start a Dream Journal.

If you're interested on LDing material, like books or things of the sort, just PM me if ur interested on discussing experiences or just wanna ask questions in general, PM me as well or see if im in the chat room
