I could control a non-lucid dream, but i wasn't lucid.

Today i dreamt that i was doing a few reality checks on my dream.
I did the nose plug one and i could breathe, i was so happy and told myself.
"I am dreaming!" But for some reason i didn't became lucid.
But i could control it, although i didn't feel my body was on dream, but my mind was.
Then i got out of my home and went to appartment hall. and i said to myself "i want to
have sex with the girl i love." so i spawned her and yeah...

The most weird thing here, is that i had this dream twice
i could control it, and did that with the girl twice aswell.

But i can't understand why i didn't became lucid. i couldn't feel my body
on the dream just my mind.

Can someone explain me this? and please tell me if this is any signal to
near lucidity?

Sounds like a lucid dream to me. If you were aware that you were dreaming, by definition, it was a lucid dream.
What do you understand by "going lucid"?
Maybe you only achieved a low level of lucidity, where everything feels very dream-like, and when you wake up it doesn't feel like a lucid dream at all, it feels like you were dreaming about being in a lucid dream. I guess it's normal in the first few lucid dreams, I still have those.

Well a lucid dream in itself is being able to tell you are dreaming which you were so, yes this was a lucid dream.
Being able to control yur dream will just take practise. I had an experience just like yours a couple of days ago(i would link it but i havent been a member for 7 days yet)
Just keep trying and i bet you'll control your dreams soon :D

Why it didn't feel like real life then?
i was lucid after all.

PS: it was not really controling, i wanted to have sex with the
girl and i did it lol.

It's very simple. If you knew you were dreaming, it was a lucid dream.
Feeling like real life has to do with your dream recall, stabilization of the dream, awareness, etc. I guess that comes with practice.

Congrats on lucid dream! :goodjob2:
Like everyone else said, being lucid is being aware that you are dreaming. Keep practicing awareness and you will definitely have higher awareness in next lucid dream! :)
