      Were these three dreams lucid dreams or not?

      First dream was last year when I started getting into lucid dreaming and had been writing dreams down for a few weeks. It was a normal dream for a while until two of my friends and I passed a pile of gold in the street again (we had passed it once before). It was a different size and my friend said that the size changed. I said, "Well, in dreams, things like size aren't consistent." Then I realized I was in a dream, and thought that my friend should turn evil and get mad, and he did: he turned red and yelled "IT'S NOT A DREAM!" I pointed at him and said, "Your head a-splode!" (which I think I got from some Homestar Strong Bad game IRL). His head kind of popped, then I pointed to my other friend and said and did the same thing. I figured I shouldn't leave their bodies standing there, so I flew under them and said "Va-poo-rise!" and their bodies vaporised. Then, I turned to a building that was in the dream before I became lucid, and decided to walk through the door because I didn't need to open it. I walked into it and couldn't go through. I tried a few more times with the same result and then woke up.

      I fell asleep again after the first dream and started dreaming my second lucid dream. It was lucid right away. I was in what was supposed to be my mom's childhood home (I'd never seen the interior of it, we'd driven by it once or twice on the way to my aunt's and she pointed it out, but that was all). There was an old man on an old-fashioned telephone and I pulled him away and broke his neck. He fell to the floor, dead. I said, "Your neck's not broken," and he got back up. Then I woke up again.

      A month or two later was when I had my third lucid dream. I was in an underground (literally underground—a basement or bunker) party-rave-thing. Everyone was about to kill me with their futuristic guns and things, so I pointed at them and shouted, "Your head a-splode!" but nothing happened. I was worried because this was supposed to be a lucid dream but I couldn't do anything. I can't remember what happened after that.

      These three were the only lucid dreams I can remember ever having, and I'm wondering if they really were lucid, or only were normal dreams and the lucidity was only part of them. The first dream had an "I am DREAMING!" revelation, but the second only had a feeling of the power one has in a LD and the third only had the words "it's just a dream" but without the power of the first dream and despite shouting "Your head a-splode" several times, I had no power over the dream. Which of these dreams, if any, were LD's?

      A lucid dream is a dream which you are aware you are dreaming in. Control is not required. You didn't mention coming to the realization you were dreaming in any three of them, so I can't tell. Or maybe I just need glasses.

      Glasses

      "..."Then I realized I was in a dream...The first dream had an "I am DREAMING!" revelation..."it's just a dream"..."
      Maybe you do need glasses,
      But I guess the first and third were LD's, because I realized I was dreaming. I can't remember if I realized it in the second because it kind of continued from the first... Why did I loose control at the end of the first and why didn't I have any control in the third?
      No matter where you are, everyone is connected.

      Thought i needed glasses. This magnifying glass just dosen't cut it anymore.

      As long as you're sure you were really all there. I've had dreams where I say "I'M DREAMING", but more as a "lets pretend" thing, not a real realization.

      As for control, it could be a number of reasons. Sometimes you just need to pratice it.
