Was this a lucid dream?

[nullbyte00]

I know you probably get questions like this a lot and answer "if you were aware you were dreaming, then you were lucid" but this dream I can't figure out. Last night I tried the MILD method and I kept repeating to myself in my head "I will have a dream. I will awake and remember my dream." Anyways, later on that night I awoke as expected and remembered this really weird dream where I was visiting secret links on http://newgrounds.com and one link led to this page titled "Can't get sex" which was a fat guy wearing ass less chaps. Anyways, so as I tried to go back to sleep again I kept thinking about that weird dream and saying in my mind repeatedly "I will have a dream. I will be aware that I am dreaming." I then had this short dream where my computer was starting up at random and I was trying to figure out the problem. Again, as expected, I woke up and remembered my dream. I kept thinking about my dream again and repeated the same text and I had the same exact dream as the computer one. However, this was a bit different. It felt as if I was conscious, but I wasn't conscious within my dream if that makes any sense. I knew I was dreaming but in my dream I kept trying to figure out what was wrong with my computer as if I thought I were awake. So I just told myself to wake up, and I did, and then just went to sleep. So what was this?

You were lucid, yes. I know you probably don't want to hear it, but the second you acknowledge that you are dreaming, you're lucid. However, you were at a somewhat 'low-level' of lucid. There aren't really levels of lucid, but this just makes it a bit easier to understand. You knew that you were dreaming, but failed to apply that information to anything. That is what happens to me most of the time.
