Sorry if this has been asked before. Last night I had a dream that as I woke up and before I moved, I said, "Hey, I'm dreaming!" And then I realized I was too late because I was waking up from the dream, and not really still in it. But I was still in it! I had convinced myself that I was awake. Then later on, I was talking to some people I work with about lucid dreaming. The whole time, I was dreaming that I had to use the washroom really, really badly. So my mind was not focused on asking myself if I was dreaming.

Anyway, would you say I was close to a lucid dream? Or do dreams of lucid dreaming mean nothing at all?
