Possible first?
I may have just had my first lucid.
In the dream, I was in a first-person video game. The backstory: I am an old, undead man whose wife is afraid of him and I need to catch her. I could see myself (well, my undead, dream self) in a mirror in a bathroom. The bathroom looked like my grandmother's, but nothing else did. Eventually, something happened and I was in front of the mirror again, but I looked like an Asian man. I said, "Wait, we're Asian now?" and, "Wait, am I dreaming again?" I plugged my nose and could still breathe (though it felt strange), so I knew I was dreaming. I closed my eyes and said, "Clean slate," and the dream world became a blank, white space. I closed my eyes and said my crush's name and she appeared. I immediately started having sex with her, but it felt strange. I felt detached. It didn't feel like I was *ahem* thrusting. In fact, the dream switched to third-person and ended quickly. Unfortunately, I wasn't tired enough to re-enter the dream.
Now, I'm not entirely sure this was a true lucid. I didn't feel truly concious and felt detached, as I said before. Also, the sex part didn't go as I had planned it; I had planned to do a bit of romance and foreplay, as opposed to mindlessly diving into it.
I think I either a.) was dreaming about being lucid or b.) attained lucidity, then lost it. Either way, it's progress! :D

When you don't have experience with lucid dream it is easy to lose awareness when you get too excited, even more if it is your first one. Anyway, nice beginning :D

Congrats on first lucid! :goodjob2:
You were lucid but the awareness was low, it's not uncommon to happen when starting and it's possible to not have full waking memory when on low awareness. Also it's a good start since you have also done some dream control, so yay. :)

Okay, I may have had another (though I still doubt the authenticity of my "first").
This was part of another dream, but I forget most of the details. The important section was this:
I was with two other people. I think a teenage girl and an older guy (who kinda looked like George Carlin, IIRC). We were going to do some sort of thing to help me get a lucid (how convinient). After I "went to sleep" (it really seemed more like a scene jump), I "started" dreaming and the two of them were standing in front of me. Not-George Carlin starts trying to walk me through everything, but I get a feeling of suspiscion and look around the room, ignoring him. I interrupted him and said, "I think this is a dream." I pinch my nose and breathed successfully a few times. I looked at my hand and it was screwy. The two people looked at each other and Not-George said to me, "Well done." They disappeared and I looked around some more, but the far ends and hallways were being engulfed by darkness, so I started spinning, but to no avail. I think it ended so quickly because I expected it to, which I'll avoid later.
I think this was a true lucid because my actions and feelings felt like I was consciously doing them, though the events before and after still give me doubt.

Congrats! :) And yeah, it's usually better to not think about ending the dream/waking up.

You questioned your state, did the rc, knew you were dreaming, that's lucid all right! You then erased your dream, summoned your crush and got down to *ahem*...awareness and memory may have been low but yeah thats lucid! It probably started slipping away that explains the detached feeling (exact same for me), when you concentrate on the "action" rather than on the whole dream and holding your awareness that youre dreaming that's easy to have happen.
