i had a dream a few nights ago, and i cant really remember what it was, all i know is i thought to myself ‘im dreaming, i know i am’ but i still couldnt control my dream. was this lucidity, or just common sense?
yes it’s lucid
lucidity and control are two different things.
with experience you will get more control in your LDs 
cool, thanks! 
moogle isn’t that “pre-lucid?”
No, a lucid dream is just being aware you are dreaming, you don’t have to control anything. In fact, you can have a dream where you are in a lot of control, but not know that it’s a dream, so it isn’t an LD.
i remember when i was a little kid (like 5) i woke up after a dream, and then immediately fell back asleep without opening my eyes, and then i had control of the next dream i had. it was pretty freakin sweet.
Lyii said she knew she was dreaming, thus it was a lucid dream. But she perhaps has to increase her dream recall. By the way, it occurs to me too: sometimes I just remembered that I have been lucid and I don’t remember what I did in this dream.
