I've been reading about lucid dreaming lately and only found out that this stuff existed maybe 2 or 3 weeks ago. Anyway a few days ago I had a dream that seemed really detailed and vivid but I don't remember any touch senses or anything like that, only sight. Well as I was having the dream I *think* I realized that it was a dream and decided to make a giant purple flower materialize in front of me (I was in a big field of small purple flowers). It started appearing but then started dissolving and it felt like I was waking up, so then I stopped and continued dreaming.

So my question is, how do I know if I was actually having a lucid dream or if I just dreamed that I was having a lucid dream? I'm not too sure myself
