Lucid Nightmare or not?

Short version is Jason from Friday the 13th killed some dude in front of my house, I ran to my bedroom to hide then thought i'll just go grab a gun to kill him. I was scared shitless the whole dream and when I was about to go run for a gun I thought fuck this i'm dreaming I want to wake up now. I woke up feeling scared as shit but laughing at the same time because I knew I was dreaming and just woke myself up instead of trying to do anything.

But was that considered a lucid at all? Pretty sure I knew I was dreaming and stopped dead in my tracks in the dream to wake myself up because the feeling of being scared was almost overwhelming.

i think this could be considered lucid becuase you said "fuck this i'm dreaming i want to wake up now."

Thanks for the feedback, anyone else feel the same way? I'm still a bit confused if I should consider this a lucid or not.

I think you had a quick lucid. I had those a few times before I even knew what LD was. The dream would be so scary I would tell myself "this has to be a dream, wake up!"

Lucid dream = being aware you're dreaming so from that I think you were lucid but you became lucid because you were "scared" in your dream. IMO that takes willpower, sometimes my scary dreams just change scenery and I can't remember much about the nightmare.

Keep it up, i'll see you on the moon!

You were aware, at one point within the dream, that you were dreaming, therefore it is a lucid dream.
