Thread: Was This a Lucid Dream?

A couple of weeks ago I got interested in lucid dreaming, read some about it and decided to try because I have excellent dream recall, my friends say they only have/remember a dream about once a month, I remember at least one dream quite vividly almost everyday.
After reading about it I thought the main aim was to realize your dreaming. So I was having a very real dream in my house and it was similar to war of the worlds outside, a bus flew past my window at which point I suddenly thought "this cant be happening........is this a dream?" So i remembered a reality check I read were you look at your hands, and you should not be able to visualize them properly in a dream. My hands looked perfect, I could notice very small details on my hands clearly, at which point I panicked a bit because I was accepting this could actually be real, all the while massive machines where looking at me outside my window and I woke up. This was all extremely real feeling.
And last night, I was dreaming and for a reason I can't quite remember I realized I was dreaming, got excited but calmed myself and instantly wanted to fly, So I tried to make my ceiling in my house open up so I could fly out haha, that didn't happen, but I was sure I was dreaming, so I took a chance and jumped down my stairs head first, and slowed my decent and stopped in mid air near the bottom. So now I was excited, I ran for my door to try to fly outside and my mother started talking to me, which I took seriously, forgetting I was dreaming. I remembered again and went outside, I couldn't quite fly I jumped about 20 meters like low gravity but I would fall. I noticed everything was very real, I could feel wind on my face, feel textures clearly and even a little pain on the balls of my feet when I landed. I met a girl I know at the bottom of my road, I instantly thought I want to have sex with her, and began a search for a good place to do so, but from that point I kept forgetting I was dreaming and taking bizarre circumstances seriously, until I just slipped into another dream, involving racing some kind of creature round an obstacle course that resembled a multiplayer map from halo while meeting ppl with important supplies in weird locations, like the top of a slide lol.
I'm not sure if this was lucid because how frequently normal dream scenarios would happen, like a guy shouted at me until he realised I was related to his mate, then we had an almost drunk discussion (were you act like your good friends with ppl you dont know) then I realised I was dreaming again, and continued to find a place to have sex with this girl I met (quite excitedly)
I was drinking earlier that night btw, it is new years.
