Welcome to the forums!

Well it's only a lucid dream if you notice that you are dreaming while you are in the dream.

If you were "flying and stuff" in your dream, that that's all it was, a regular dream where you were flying.

Now, if you were flying and were suddenly like, "Hey wait, what the heck is going on.. ahhh, I'm dreaming!" then that is a lucid dream.

Right, what mes said. Lucid dreaming is being conscious while in the dream. I don't think it'd be possible to know you were dreaming only after you woke up, it's contradictary. Start practicing, start a dream journal, read up on the info here, and you'll be having the real deal in no time.

Sorry, but like the others said you have to realize your dreaming while your in mid dream. SO next time you find yourself flying think, "What the hell? This must be a dream.. which now means I'm lucid and can do whatever I please!"

Welcome to Dream Views and good luck getting lucid.

Seems like everyone is just saying the person above them is correct. Which is correct
