Hello DV community! Just had my first lucid dream last night, and thought I would share it with you guys

-Starts out around 5:30 AM this morning, I wake up to use the bathroom, do that and go get a drink of water.
-Try to go back to sleep around 5:38 AM or something around that(sorry about the super details like time ect. im just really excited!) so I cant go back to sleep after like 35-40 minutes of laying there. So I say ok w/e ill just get up for the day. I get on the computer and just surf you-tube and stuff for a little before I get ready for the day. After being on the computer for a little while, I start to get really sleepy.
-Go back to sleep around 6:30 AM...this is where it all begins!
-I'm playing Xboxlive with one of my buds from real life named john. My dog cooper is asleep on my couch across the room. I look back it him a few seconds later and there is two of him, and there fighting each other! I tell john "dude Cooper is like fighting his self", I go to break it up and one of the cooper's attacks me, the other one is just sitting there passively which his how cooper normally is, so I tell myself that he must be the "real" cooper, after being attacked for a second, the "impostor" cooper runs out of my room, I go to chase him into the living room, only to see that he is with my step dad Michael on the couch just chilling lol. Im like...oookkkk what ever. I walk into the kitchen to see my sheep dog at the side door, AND under the table, yep that's right, theres two of him to. I look away and look back, still two sheep dogs. Nothing else in my dream was double except for my dog's. I walk back into the living room to see my mom and Michael with cooper on the couch. I ask them what the heck is going on, but they ignore me. Ok now this is what ive been confused on for a while about LD, I never understood how to tell yourself to do a RC in a dream, it just sorta happened. I pinch myself to see if I could feel it, nope no pain at all. HOLY CRAP my mind became awake, I WAS THERE, I can not describe how real it was once I was conscious during this. I told myself, ok remain calm, I am lucid dreaming, remain calm dont get to excited . I started to have trouble walking for about 10 seconds, felt like a was a new born learning to walk again, but that didnt last long. I walk out the front door, to find what I normally would, but everything looked sort of "glowy" I was amazed at how real it was, I thought, oh wait im lucid I WANT to fly, I started to fly over my house but I felt very unstable while doing so, so I told myself that I would practice flying in later dreams, because we do literally have the rest of our life to dream. I land and walk around to the back yard, hearing my sister and her friend Elise laughing and riding bikes(I know, super WTF, eh? lol) but now it was dark outside, I saw them get off there bikes and go inside, that's when that dream ended. Now what I need to ask all of you is this, was I really lucid or did i just think in my dream that i was lucid? And also, it seemed as if the dream kept on going even though I was lucid, is that normal? But I WAS FULLY AWARE I WAS DREAMING.
