My friend's somewhat lucid dream

Alright, I have a foreign exchange student from Brazil living with me for a year, and I was talking with him about lucid dreams the other day.

So, today he comes up to me and tells me about this sort of lucid dream. It was basically one of those dream within a dream situations.

The dream is in 3rd person perspective. Thiago (the foreign exchange student) is following the actions of a red-headed female. He can hear all her thoughts, know what she's going to do, etc. Though I'm not sure if he actually had control over the character or not, so I don't know if he actually was the DC, or if he was only observing.

In this dream, The Character/Thiago remembers about lucid dreaming and tries to lucid dream. The Character falls asleep and successfully has a lucid dream.

Thiago is able to control The Character's lucid actions by thinking about it. Ex: Making individuals appear at will, transporting to desired location.

I found this whole dream to be rather odd...

Just wondering what you folks think about it and whether that would count as a lucid dream since Thiago never actually realized the whole thing was a dream.

I think that if he was in control of the dream, even as an observer, that it was a lucid. An odd lucid but lucidity was definately there.

let me see if i get this he was lucid through a dc is that right?
if so i'd say it's lucid if he knew he was dreaming not just the dc.

JFK, He was in control of the DC's dream, and the DC, once she was dreaming. So he was able to control some aspects of his overall dream (the dream within a dream part) but didn't actually realize he was dreaming.

So strange...
