Was this a Lucid dream

I had a dream where I was working at taco bell... Mabye it was A&W. Anyway, at one point I was outside in a backyard and I realized this made no sense at all--I didn't remember ever applying--and why was I in a backyard? I said to myself that I must be dreaming. Then quickly I thought that was impossible and convinced myself it was real. When I woke up I was confused as hell and very surprised. I didn't know about lucid dreaming then.

So, was I lucid dreaming at all for a bit? I kind of knew I was dreaming for a little bit.

If you knew it was a dream, it was lucid.

You were lucid for a very short period of time, but then you talked yourself out of it. Heh.

It happens to the best of us. Next time you feel that you might be in a dream, instead of thinking it's impossible, try to do some reality checks to make sure. There are plenty of reality check lists and tutorials around the site.
