Hi all! I just wanted to introduce myself, and also had a question. This seems like a really neat forum, and I definitely want to read a lot of the posts!
Well, after a dream I had during a nap a few hours ago, I really want to learn about and try lucid dreaming more.

Last week or so I read a little about lucid dreaming, but didn't really attempt anything, but today I had a seemingly lucid dream, much along the lines of what I read, and probably prompted by what I read.

In this dream, I was at a fencing tournament, then something clued me into that I was dreaming--the locations seemed to not be exactly static. I thought "Maybe I'm in a dream..." Even though I remembered reading that people will often say "no" to this question, I asked my friend if I was in a dream. In real life, she's very honest, and in the dream, she didn't seem to want to give an answer, which I took to mean I was dreaming. I tried flying, but after a few moments, I lost control of my flight. Frustrated and aware that I had class soon, I tried to wake up. When I awoke, I felt something was not right, so I tried the "looking-at-your-hand" technique and, lo-and-behold, my fingers wear wavering, not exactly five. Then I tried to actually wake up, but felt unable to move. I couldn't remember what to do, so I just called for my roommates (which did nothing in real life). Eventually, though, I did wake up-- and fortunately made it to class.

Now, my question is, is it possible to dream about lucid dreaming? (I hope that question makes sense) Or is this just a case where I didn't have the confidence or experience to know how to control my actions?

Thank you so much for reading this super-long post. I look forward to meeting you.
