I am no dream expert in the slightest(don't know how reality checks are done)

One gift I do have is the ability to lucid dream at times without inducing but last night I had a slight scare. It was about 4:30 and I was laying in this particular position, I woke up from a bad dream and wanted to stay up but everytime I went to this position my eyes would close and I couldn't stop them, my body would freeze(no hallucinations) I would fight it for what seemed like 8 seconds then get out. I was consciously aware I was entering my dream. Did I have a wild or something?
