Before falling asleep today I kept telling myself to dream, and kept asking myself if I was dreaming. When I was finally in my dream I was still trying to fall asleep in my dream and induce a lucid dream.

Has anyone ever had this happen to them before? It's the closest i've been to an actual lucid dream without waking up right away. Usually I find out i'm dreaming and wake up after what it seems to be seconds in my dream state.
