Thread: First time... kinda lucid

So I was dreaming (I think) and i just thought I should do a reality check, but then i thought to myself 'no, if I move my hands I will wake myself up' (thinking about moving my real hands) so that is when I realised I was dreaming. so then I managed to bring up my dream hands and look at them but they looked perfectly normal. and then i started losing it, so i tried shouting 'increase lucidity' but it didnt work and i lost it.

I would be perfectly sure that it was a dream but I dont remember there being any type of surrounding or anything, just black. So this is where I think maybe i was just thinking about it rather than it being a dream, but surely I would know if I was thinking about it?

So if I was having a lucid dream would I still be conscious about my real body?

opinions greatly appreciated
