People like to put "levels" to lucidity. Many on here would say you were experiencing a low level lucid dream. You could label it as that, but I'd say you were not lucid. If you experienced proper lucidity in a dream, there would be no mistaking it. I believe someone mentioned on a thread like this that your awareness plays a huge part in experiencing lucidity. If your awareness in the dream is quite low, you may go "this is a dream" but not actually comprehend what that means. So you don't realize at the time that it's a world created in your mind that can be manipulated as you wish.

Don't be confused though. The fact that you were able to tell yourself that it was a dream is a big step forward. Just be sure that when you RC in real life you actually take a deep breath and look, hear, and feel the world around you. Try to ask yourself "Why isn't this a dream?". Find things in the world around you that prove you're not dreaming. And be very careful to analyze the things you notice. Don't look at something and go "Oh, that's normal". Look at it and check your memories, make sure that it is actually normal. Because in dreams you will be tricked by your subconscious into believing silly explanations. Don't let it win!

Of course, I'm not of great experience, so everyone feel free to improve on what I'm saying.
