Thread: First lucid experience was "within a dream" - Really lucid at all?

Hi guys

So I've followed your and other forums for a long time, trying to figure out how to get that lucid experience. Well, tonight it has happened, at least I think so. Please note that this has nothing whatsoever to do with Inception or anything the like, I've been very interested in lucid dreaming way before that movie.

Last night I took my magnesium and went to bed. I'd been suffering from quite a hangover, don't know if that matters anything.
Now started the strangeness: In my dream I was talking to this girl in an open way that I suddenly reckoned I would never talk like in real life - I realized that I was having my first lucid experience. My first thought was "Please don't wake up just jet, I really want this to happen". Of all clichés, I picked the "worst"; I wanted to fly, and fly I did. However shortly thereafter I woke up, knowing what had just happened. Only that I was still dreaming - I even told people in the second dream what had just happen.

I have a couple of questions:

Is this normal? I find it a little strange that this is the first time I've experienced anything that comes near lucid.
Is this even to be considered lucid dreaming?

Hope you're all having a wonderful day!
