lazurviking, lucid dreaming is merely the "awareness" that you are dreaming WHILE you're dreaming.

Did you ever say (or think) to yourself, "I'm dreaming."?. If so, then you were definately lucid.

Next time, if you're in doubt, do a "reality check". The reality check that has never failed me is the "plug my nose and see if I can breathe" reality check. It never hurts to do your favorite reality check a couple of times or even do two different ones.. just to really convince yourself!

Also I see by your post count that you're new to Dream Views.. welcome!

Hi, welcome to Dream VIews.
As soon as you are certain and think something along the lines of, 'this is a dream', or 'Im dreaming', that's lucidity. Even if it only lasts for a second or two. If that realization was there, then you were in a lucid dream.
See you around.
