Thread: 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

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!
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!
