I'm new to this myself, but from what I gathered lucid dreaming is being aware. If you simply are aware that you are dreaming and go along with the story in your dream you are lucid dreaming. Most people take it to the next level though and try to do different things in their dreams.

I had a few lucid dreaming experiences. Most of them so short that I don't consider them as 100% legit. But even as short as they were I found them extremely satisfying. I would recommend you have fun with your dream and see if you can change the outcome.
