I can't find this question raised anywhere else so I'm assuming it's a stupid question but perhaps someone has some answers to this.
I had a fairly brief lucid dream last night, during which I realised I was dreaming and was certain that I was in control of my actions and the dream. However, a question occured to me today; How can I be sure that I was not simply dreaming I was having a lucid dream? I have been reading about lucid dreams so it's possible that it is something I would dream about, so how can I be sure that I was actually in control of my dream and not just dreaming that I was.
Maybe this is just a bit naive and stupid, if so feel free to tell me so!
