    So is this a lucid dream? I can't tell

    If this is a lucid dream, this is the first time I've experienced it.

    So My girlfriend and I were heading to my room, but when I got there I realized my house layout was weird and my room was crowded with junk thats not there. I looked for my PC, because I know where it is located. But it was in the wrong place sitting under a pile of junk. In real life my PC has blue lights all over it, but in the dream I could clearly see the fans spinning and no blue lights. There were two other PCs in my room not normally there. The thought occurred to me that I'm in a dream.

    But I woke up, and immediately went back to sleep.

    This next dream, I was with my girlfriend and it was dark out in a nice backyard with paved walkways and an inground pool. My girlfriend entered the pool but I knew there was a giant insect in there, I yelled for her to get out, and she did. After a few seconds an antenna appeared from the surface of the water. Somewhere in that dream I remember running from the insect, put I can't really place that part. I thought to myself that this is a dream. In order to make myself lucid, I thought really hard that this is a dream, this is a dream.

    But in doing that, I woke up. Went back to sleep last time.

    The next dream was in the same setting as the previous one, but the paved walkway was arched and curved back and forth thru a building. Walking with one of my friends, we witness some long hairy creature that in front looked like a tarantula. (Looking back it just looked like 3 spiders humping each other). I couldn't focus well on it, but it wiggled and was hairy, and my friend and I both ran from it. While running, we jumped over another tarantula crawling alone in the middle of the walkway. My friend was about 5 yards in front of me when a thought occurred that this is probably a dream. I remembered to look at my hands, and both ring fingers of both hands were missing. Seeing 4 fingers on each hand, my body immediately dropped into a massive fit of tingling sensations all over my body. I was breathing really heavily thinking I was lucid, and I looked up and tried to fly first thing haha, but I awoke feeling relaxed.

    This all occurred in about 25 minutes however of sleeping.

    Mostly due to the time I was asleep, and waking up and falling back asleep, I'm not really sure how to judge it.
    Please some of you expert dreamers out there give me some insight!

      yup seems you were becoming lucid but then waking up soon after.

      I sometimes "practice" my emotional response to finding out I'm in a dream- just as astronauts require training prior to space and spend time practicing each and every motion in large swimming pools, so should oneironaughts practice before dreams- Stand in a room, try to imagine realizing you are in a dream- what goes on through your head? is it "LOLZ ZOMG i'm dreaming!" or is it "oh cool I'm dreaming, ok dream goals...", try walking around and getting used to the feeling of being in a dream- this might be tricky though if you have never actually been in one- you might want to imagine you've just discovered you are "the one" in the matrix. Walk around, think of stuff to do- simple stuff, and get used to your emotions. The overall process can last anywhere from 30 seconds to several minutes.

      That is a great idea that yuri has. I am going to try that.

      Anyway lucidity means that you are aware you are dreaming.

      I was a giant spider in dreams last night.

      Ok thanks yuri, what should I do to get used the control? Besides walking around, what are some slightly more advanced steps? Like talking to people, idk summoning things, jumping, flying, walking on water..?
