Was I Lucid in my dream?

[Neonownz]

So last night i had my first lucid dream.... maybe. I'll tell you what I remember and let you decide. I don't know what triggered me to perform a reality check but I did, surely enough I didnt have a thumb and three of my fingers were shorter than usual. I knew i was dreaming, i even said it. I couldn't control my dream, but i was in control of my body, I could move were i wanted. I woke up shortly after... but in a different dream. In this dream i wasn't lucid. I remember telling my brother i had just had my first lucid dream. Then I woke up for real. I don't know if the first dream was a lucid one or not, because i woke up in a normal dream afterwards, Hallp!

Also I read something about when you dream sometimes you do something linked to what you did the day before when you were awake, i think i performed the reality check at my computer playing League of legends lool.

Congrats on first lucid dream! Being lucid means being aware of dreaming, and you were, so you were lucid! First lucid dreams sometimes can be pretty short, but they definitely will become longer with practice. Also what you did experienced is called false awakening, it's when you 'wake up' in dream and do things you usually do when waking up, they can be pretty confusing, i suggest you to make reality check every time you wake up/get up from the bed, that way you can catch false awakenings and make them lucid dreams. And yeah, dreams are often based on stuff that we do through the day and other memories from the past. By the way, check out some beginner threads here: Welcome Induction Methods and Techniques
