Dreaming about Lucid Dreaming

So I think I may have had my first lucid dream last night, realised by checking time on phone about 8 times (it seemed so real so it was hard to convince myself it was a dream, only done a check as Morgan Freeman said something really creepy to me), I flew, I'm guessing nearly everyone does this their first time haha, for about 3 seconds I felt the same way as I do when I jump of bridges and stuff. But then I woke up (or so I thought), looked at my iPod which was still playing some random static, Slipknot was playing (umm ok, I don't even have slipknot). That's the only reason I now realise that I didn't wake up for real :(

Is it common to think you've woken up during a lucid dream, or do you think maybe I was dreaming about lucid dreaming, and it wasn't actually a proper lucid dream.

I have vague memories of being in an arena or something and trying to spin around to get back to my house... I don't know, it's awfully confusing and I've been pondering it all day.

It was great few moments anyway, but maybe it was longer than a few moments and I don't remember. Oh man, thinking too hard.

I don't really know why I'm posting this... Just felt like getting it out, and don't feel like telling friends.

I know exactly what you mean. I thought my first lucid dreams were just me DREAMING about lucidity.

As long as you realize you're dreaming, you have become lucid.

You might've thought you were imagining it because it wasn't vivid enough, or you didn't have full awareness during lucidity.

It sounds like you were lucid to me. It is such a strange state of mind, I think it is hard to remember how you felt. Combine that with the difficulty of remembering your dreams, and you end up trying to convince yourself you couldn't have been lucid. I know that's what I do. I can always remember the feeling of the lucidity clearly when I first wake up, but then it slips away along with the dream.

Congratulations, it sounds like a fun dream.

Well that's interesting. Thanks for the replys.

I can't remember ANYTHING about dreams last night haha. But I still keep thinking about those few seconds of flight :D.
