Is this still lucid dreaming, or not? Read further, please!

First of all, I'm really bad at remembering dreams. I can remember them only sometimes, like one or two nights a week, and I usually remember only some sporadic events of the dream. So it would be nearly impossible for me to have a lucid dream with this awful dream recall. Anyway, rarely, I have some "strange" dreams... I'll explain better. I discovered lucid dreaming about two years ago, after watching a very famous movie which is now a cliche for lucid dreaming community. I explored much lucid dreaming theory, it was very captivating and fascinating, but after getting poor to no results during the first weeks, I just gave up. But I never forgot the whole lucid dreaming thing, it's still something that I wish I could master!

Now to the main point of this thread. I had some times a strange kind of dream, in which I feel like seeing myself in a first person perspective, but I don't really feel like BEING myself! In those dreams my dream ego recognizes that it's a dream, so I come to think that it's a lucid dream... But like I stated before, those dreams are so dull and non-vivid, and I don't feel like living my dream self, I feel more like watching through the eyes of this dream self. It's like seeing through the eyes of myself that recognizes the lucid dream, but then does nothing special, because I don't really have control over my dream, it feels so "gray", very lacking of "depth", it's like every other dream that I have.

Would you consider this a lucid dream? ...
