lucid dream or dreaming that i did?

last night during dreaming i had horrible dream that i woke up went into the bathroom and had all sores and cuts on my feet. It was so vivid that i actually said this cant be dream and suddenly i realized i was dreaming.I roared im dreaming and started rubbing my hands together and shouting clarity but it didn't change it wasn't very vivid. I ran and jumped out the window and flew straight forward but the dream was very fuzzy and woke up in bed again but i could hear music and so knew i was dreaming but as i got out of bed i lost lucidity . :bang:

i have a few questions :shock:

1. was this definitely a lucid dream

2. when i realized i was dreaming i knew i shouldn't have flown straight away but i couldn't stop myself. is this normal that during a lucid you dont have full control of what you do

3. it seemed that while i was dreaming it was very vivid but when i awoke it seemed like a normal dream is this normal for a first timer and do they get better

4. i have been trying to wild for about 10 days does having a ld make that easier.

thanks for listening :bowdown:

1) From your description, I think so.

2) People don't always have full control in LDs. Levels of control vary from person to person and also depend on experience.

3) This is a false awakening. When one of these happen, you forget that you were dreaming because you think that you've just woken up, but you were still in a dream. False awakenings happen a lot, even to experts. You can practice recovering from them by doing reality checks immediately after you apparently wake up.

4) Having a LD doesn't necessarily make WILDing easier, but it definitely motivates you to some extent.

If you have any more questions, just feel free to ask. :)
