I believe I had a (semi-)lucid dream.

My brother describes similar experiences to me and we generally have problems identifying each other's dreams as lucid or normal.  In my experience, the lucid dreams are clearer than life and I know that I'm dreaming.  He says he has clearer than life dreams but does not think about it, at the moment, being a dream or not.  I think it's hard for another person to tell you whether or not you've had a lucid dream simply because you can never really make us have your experience through words.  For my own purposes, I will not identify a dream as lucid if I've not made the realization during the dream that I am in fact dreaming.

I would agree with Kozzi.  I don't say it was a lucid dream unless I am aware of what is going on.  The realization that I am dreaming has to occure for me say it was lucid.  I go on this because I have had some cartoony, black and white, and full blown realistic lucid dreams.  But I have also had the same kinds of regular dreams.  The only difference is that in lucid dreams I am activly thinking about the situation and such and the others are often recalled as memories.

Yeah, last night I had a dream that for the most part would have seemed to be a regular dream, but I was making decisions to do dangerous things based on the fact that I knew at the moment that I was dreaming.  For instance, I would step to the edge of the roof of a house and decide whether or not I would jump down.  My first thought was that it would be too dangerous, but then I would say to myself, "no it wouldn't, I'm dreaming!"  Then I would jump down and let myself fall normally, but then catch myself right before I hit the ground.  It wasn't a very clear lucid dream, but unlike normal dreams, I was aware of what I was doing, I could see fairly well, and I knew that I was dreaming and would therefore make decisions based on that fact.  That's a lucid dream however unclear the scene may have been.

Yesterday morn', I had looked over that Remote Influencing (or something like that) thread.

Well, last night I had to wake up early, so I set my alarm to early, but just kept hitting the snooze for a few hours.

Anyways, at one point, I noticed I was floating over a road, because a car was in front of me and sped off. Well, I stopped and thought "Huh? I was just in bed. Maybe I'm out of body! No, it feels different. Maybe I'm remote viewing. So, I chased the car (and I could move fast, apparently), then I flew past it and kept going.

At one point, I stopped and thought "I'm sure am in control. Maybe it's a dream. Nah, couldn't be. This is too real (aren't all dreams, though?)."

Well, I noticed my surroundings. It looked like I was in a moutain/desert region. I saw some U.S. highway or interstate signs, and I could read them. I don't remember what they said, but I could remember them. I saw one of those blue badge shaped signs that's either a an interstate or highway sign. Well, I don't remember if it was an exit or something,  but I tried to remember the number to check it out.

It was like 679, I believe.

I was in control, but, I didn't know it was a dream. Does that count?

The whole dream scenario didn't really kick in until I woke up again.
