Awesome job on the first lucid! My first wasn't that amazing either, but the first feeling is always amazing. As a motivator: lucid dreaming keeps getting better, even better than the previous .
Its great that you're keeping a public dream journal right off the bat, it will really help you gain lucidity. I hope you can use this first experience as a motivator for your next dream . Trust me, once you get your first lucid of considerable length, it will push you even more Pity that you went back to normal dreaming, it doesn't usually happen. Good luck, and happy dreaming!
