Was this a lucid dream?

So I used the WBTB method last night and had a very vivid dream where I think I became lucid… I’ll give you the rundown!

(Not lucid yet) I woke up in a strange bed with lots of vibrant colors everywhere like a cartoon… I looked around the room and it seemed familiar… Then I went from first person POV to looking at “myself” from the ceiling… I was Bart Simpson. So then a spider randomly jumped on “me” and bit me. I was feeling dizzy and the collapsed. I woke up and felt really strong (this is still from 3rd person view) and I started shooting webs around my room.

This is where I noticed something was strange (funnily enough being Bart Simpson was completely normal but shooting webs out of my hands crosses the line!) So I got some scissors and started cutting the web when I noticed my hands… I had four bright yellow fingers… I dropped the scissors and looked at my hands (which really interested me) and then a light bulb came on in my head.

I looked around the room and started to smile asking myself “Am I dreaming?” I eagerly pressed a finger to my palm and imagined it going through my hand… sure enough it did and I got a rush of excitement. I looked around the room this time in full lucidity (I think) and then tried some different stuff. I jumped up in the air and tried to float down which worked but got me too excited so I tried to calm down which didn’t work so I tried to dream-spin which didn’t change the dream! (which is why I’m thinking I wasn’t completely lucid) Then in a last effort to have fun before I lost lucidity I tried to break through my room and fly. I crashed into the ceiling and landed back on my bed… I woke up…

What are your thoughts on this? Do you think I was lucid or was it just a really vivid dream?

Thanks!

If you realize you are dreaming, while dreaming, lucidity has been reached

Considering that you did an RC and realized that you were dreaming, I would say that you were, indeed, lucid. Congrats. :grin:
