Thread: Was it a lucid dream?

Right, yeah I'm new though some of you may know me from IRC, off-topic or reading the two posts in my dream journal () Anyway I may have had my first lucid dream(s)!!!! Skip to bit in red if you just want question:
Anyway I had a dream last night in which I was looking a a lamp, and continuously thinking
'Yeah, in my dreams there's never a plug', at which point I started looking for one, and then I found it odd when I found one, so I thought another thing 'Yeah but I bet it's not connected,' (lol I'm doing reverse reality checks ) at which point I found out it was connected, to the middle of the lamp .

Then I wanted to see if I could unplug it from inside the lamp and I manage! Suddenly I go 'wait a sec, I've been telling myself it's a dream this entire time! IT IS ONE! I manage to contain my excitement though, and turn round ready to try things, when my eyes are closed! I struggle to open my eyes in the dream without opening them in real life, but it is an extreme hassle, and I am awake, yet I manage to get a DEILD!

In the DEILD I woke up, and thought how annoying that is, and in habit did a reality check by pinching my nose, and I could breath! (Weirdly, beccause of my cold ) I was sitting there, thinking about things I could try when I woke up.



Question
Anyway, I was certainly feeling awesome that I had them (especially a DEILD first time, epic win !) but thinking back, it felt weird. I felt as though my body wasn't actually there, but it was just doing stuff, like a normal dream feels, though I was kind of lucid.
So is this how Lucid dreams feel? Or is it just my recall messing up, or is it a fake Lucid Dream or whatever. Indeed the DEILD did feel much more realistic.....
Really hope this was the real deal
