      My first lucid dream? Was I lucid dreaming?

      The reason I'm asking is for a few reasons :*

      I didnt feel 100% connected to my dream self all the time. When I went swimming, only after a few seconds after of entering the water did I feel wet. There are other examples too.

      I dont remember some parts (even though I only just woke up 10 minutes ago), though thats expected.

      Time in the dream seemed to be sped up like minutes were hours and it went from mid afternoon to nightime extremely fast.*

      Anyways, here was my dream that I just had; it was actually a pretty awesome dream:

      I was hanging out at my dads house watching a movie with him, it was about aliens trying to take over earth and stuff like that. This actually took up a LONG portion of the dream mostly due to the fact I didnt know I was dreaming; for all I know, this "alien movie" dream is a sepearate dream that happened before my lucid one, but idk. Then mid-movie I got a phone call from an unknown number (my phone doesn have caller ID, so thats normal) and I answer it. The person on the other side doesnt respond after I say "hello" a few times, so I check my phone. I see a number and caller ID. My dad asks for the phone and i give it to him; he talks with a guy named "Greg" (normal as my dad actually does work with a guy named greg. Why he called MY cellphone? Idk. Dream logic xD).*

      Then I go to sit on the couch and suddenly a koala (YES. A KOALA.) comes through the open sliding door of the backyard (my dad normally leves it open to let air in) and the koala rushes to me and I start playing with it.

      Suddenly, I can think. I think "Wait... A Koala? I dont normally play with those... It's possible I guess, but... Am I dreaming?"*

      I look to my left hand to see that my ring, index and thumb have all transformed into two fingers! As I look at them, I feel a burning sensation on my hand and they slowly transform back into a normal hand before my eyes. I then realize 100% that I'm dreaming! (A friend of mine is an avid lucid dreamer and got me into the "look at your hand" technique months ago, yet I only got a lucid dream today)

      So I walk out into the backyard; and of course, first thing everyone tries to do when they realize they're a lucid dreamer; fly.

      So I jump and sustain flight for a few tens of meters, but my legs hurt when I landed (yet I didnt feel the air going past me during flight? This is why i question the lucidity of my dream) and I jump one more time out onto a sidewalk; I decide I don't wanna fly anymore as I dont have unlimited dream time and it hurts like hell on the landing.

      So I think of wanting to ride a motorcycle (I never have before) and I start walking down the street (and it suddenly becomes nighttime... Yet I dont question it?) and I see someone riding a motorcycle pull up at an intersection, I think: "Make him fall, but have the bike be okay" and thats exactly what happens! I rush over to the bike, pick it up (it was a Suzuki GSXR-1000. The model is important to know.) and ride off. I feel the throttle between my hand and the clutch at my fingertips, as well as the gearshifter at my foot (yet it doesnt shift quite like a motorcycle. Instead of being one up 5 down or whatever, it's just N at the bottom and very upshift goes up a number...) and I start riding.*

      I ride for a bit on empty night streets until I the street comes to an end on a cliff; so I stop quickly before I fall over. My body moves forward a bit (like any body under rapid deceleration) and I see the front of the bike.

      It suddenly transformed into a DRZ-400 without me knowing?!*

      So I get off the bike and walk up to this "treehouse-looking" public hangout (the building wasnt weird looking, I just dont know how to explain it in real life...) and I see this girl walk out of the place and down the steps to me.

      Two things happen that are super weird. First, suddenly everything turns into a cartoon. Yes. The girl was a cartoon. I was a cartoon. The house was a cartoon. It was weird. Second, she starts gettin it "intimate" with me. Weird I know.

      Annnyway, moving on. I walk into the treehouse after and then I find myself in a school, and I walk out of te classroom downstairs and suddenly everything turns into a "sim" (like the game "The Sims", and I see myself in third-person view.) and I jump into a pool to swim.*

      Again, I dont feel myself swimming suddenly, so I question the lucidity of the dream.*

      Anyway, I try swimming bur cant seem to control myself (yet I'm a great swimmer in real life?) and then;

      I get out of the pool and wake up in a big autoshop? And Ozzy Osbourne is there somehow... And then:

      The phone rings in real life and I wake up >

      Anyways; was I actually lucid dreaming? Is there anyway to induce being able to consciously think in a dream? Why did I have this overall feeling of numbing? That was awesome Made me love motorcycles even more.

      Edit:

      By the way, I controlled almost everything in the dream to happen except the time, where I suddenly found myself sometimes, the girl DC, the bike transformation, my vision randomly turning from real to cartoon to digital 3D and all DCs (except the actions of the motorcycle rider).

      Yup, that sure was a lucid. The only criteria for a dream to be lucid is for a dreamer to know that he is dreaming.

      I believe daytime awareness practice will help you retain your memory and your 'thinking' when in a LD. Every other feeling you experienced is normal. Sometimes you will feel different things, have less or more control or vividity or awareness. So congrats and wish you many more
