Yes, it is normal. Most of my lucids happen like this.

Your dreams are in your head, so whatever you think about in waking life, can cross into your dreams.
I guess what I'm trying to say is, now that you know lucid dreaming is POSSIBLE, there's a much higher chance of you becoming lucid compared to before, even if it's not from an RC.
