Alright. So I'm not sure when I entered this very short lucid dream, and I don't even know if it was lucid.

I'm in a city. I'm not sure how long I've been here or how I got here. But. It's a very old city, looks like something you would see in (if anyones ever played the game Assassins Creed) a desert built kind of city, and the city is deserted. I study the way the light is hitting the walls and the detail of the textures. I realize I'm in a dream.. Does that make it lucid? Anyway. The dream started to fade when I realized it was just a dream.. So I did the spinning thing. And it worked! Awsome. So then I tried looking around, I spotted nothing in site but buildings, until my eyes stumbled upon someone in a window. A dark silhouette which I could just barely make out, it was standing behind a bared up window frame (the window frame looked trashy and abandoned kind of, with boards nailed across it). Then something in my room made a noise, and I woke up. The whole thing lasted probably less than 10 seconds.

So, does that count as lucid? Also, does anyone have any really good reality checks? Right now im just looking at things like the way light hits objects, and texture detail, etc.

Ps. I think it was my cat that made a noise, lol
