was this lucid dreaming?

[xXkieraXx]

so lucid dreaming is about being aware your dreaming and being able to change what you dream about? if i understood it right i used to do that all the time when i was younger. if i was having a nightmare i would know it was a nightmare and simply close my eyes, count to ten, open my eyes and i'd wake up. i only really remember changing a dream once, i was stuck and something was trying to kill me then i made it disapear.. was that a mild form of lucid dreaming? i've honestly never heard of it before but it sounds amazing... bit disapointed i cant do it anymore though lol
