Hi
I've been practicing writing and remembering my dreams for a while, and just yesterday I actually read about the methods to have lucid dreams, I mean WILD/MILD. I'm practicing reality-checks by watching the clock but I never remember to do it in my dreams yet. I didn't had any lucid dreams yet.

So anyway, I read about it yesterday, and thought I'll try it sometime, when I'll feel I'm ready to try it. and I went to sleep at night and woke up about 6 hours later. I lay at my bed and started remembering in my dream and then decided, if I've already woke up 6 hours after I fall asleep, why wouldn't I try it.
So I wrote all my dream and hour later I came back to my bad and started thinking about the experience I had in my last dream, which was some guy I lay in bed with and he hug me. and I said to myself: When I'll dream it- I'll know I'm dreaming. and I tried to think about it but my mind ran away to all sort of places until I fall asleep and didn't get to the scene I was thinking about.

But then I was dreaming, and in some point, I lay on some couch and a girl came to me and started kissing me, and then I thought to myself- I'm dreaming!
But now everything became a bit blurry, and I knew that when I'll find out I'm dreaming- I need to do something to remain lucid and not wake up, so I started scrubbing my hands but it was really weird cause I felt myself coming out and in the dream, I felt that my real body is starting scrubbing it's hands so I forced my hands to stop doing it and focused on doing it in the dream. it happened 3 more times I think, that my real hands did it, and I kept the dream just a bit until I don't remember what happened but I guess I lost the consciousness because after that I remember I dreamt and didn't know it.

So anyway, I wanted to ask if this is a lucid dream? because it feels to me, that because I read about it before I got to bed and thought about it, I just DREAMT I'm lucid dreaming. I just dreamt I tell to myself I'm dreaming and dreamt my real hands were active, but it was just in my mind. What do you think? I would love to listen everything you have to say.

Thank you for reading, and sorry for the English mistakes. :]
