But I didnt "know" I was dreaming. Gahh its really hard to explain what it was..I was hoping someone else had experienced something like this so they could relate..

I know exactly what you mean. People like to call it semi-lucidity.

I would agree with your assumption that it was a low level LD. It sounds just like it to me.

I would often get very frustrated, when I was just beginning lucid dreaming, because I would often get low level lucids, and I was starting to wonder if there was such thing as a high level lucid!

I recently figured out something that really helps for me. Maybe it will help for you too? As soon as I become lucid, I think about how sometimes with low level lucids, it seems like it didn't actually happen in the moment, and it was just you remembering it when you woke up. I think about that, and try to apply it to the lucid I'm in, and try to make sure that I am totally, 100% lucid, so that there's no way I can forget it. Sounds pretty obvious, but it works for me.
