Had a lucid dream maybe

I was preparing to have a knife fight with a friend of mine in a big field, in was a normal dream up until I pulled out the knife that I had selected for the fight, it was really big. When I selected it my opponent also selected a similar sized knife. When I felt the knife in my hand I could feel how heavy it was, which is not normal and then I started walking towards my opponent and I could feel my feet like I was walking up a hill with the really heavy knife which was weighing down my body. I realized that I was dreaming, or at least that I was in control of my dream body but as I looked up I went completely blind, all I could see was a white haze. Then I woke up.

Is there such thing as a half lucid, where you control your dream body, can feel everything but still don't actually realize you're dreaming?

There's such a thing as knowing you're dreaming without CONSCIOUSLY knowing that you're dreaming. It's like you have a vague awareness but you're not actually acting on it. Nevertheless, it's considered a lucid. Congrats.

Can you not control your body in dreams? It is incredibly rare for me to not be able to control my body and normally a tip off that im dreaming.

I don't know exactly because when I'm fully dreaming the plot of the dream seems more important that whether I can feel my body, or I just don't notice whether I have control or not. I think I was going to become lucid which was maybe why I went blind because I was reconfiguring the dream scene or something. Well thanks for the feedback anyway

That was called sub-lucid.

You indeed turned lucid with small awareness with little or no control at all

In addition, the very first lucids from most subjects, are brief like yours, so yes, you can count it as a lucid.

There is something called fake-lucid, but that does not apply to yours
