The situation: I am in darkness. For no apparent reason whatsoever, I realize, "I'm dreaming!". Suddenly, my hands and feet grow heavy, as they usually do as I get sleep paralysis. Wanting to keep the dream going and hoping to make the dream more vivid, I start spinning. In the far darkness, I see the outlines of several buildings. An eye with many bands of different colors, my ever-lasting visual foe in the darkness, starts to appear but I keep spinning and imagine it turning into a stiped pole to get rid of it. Then it ends.

My question is, was is a real LD or was it just a simulated one? Perhaps it is possible to say "I'm dreaming" in your dream but not go lucid because you just say it in the dream without actual thought?

I'm fairly confident it was a DILD, but I would like to know for sure.
