Welcome James!

So your first lucid experiences may not be full blown lucidity. Indeed as we progress as lucid dreamers, there are new experiences to be had, no matter what level we have attained.
That being said, some of your lucids might be hazy, or it might feel like you are behind yourself among other strange sensations. The key in my opinion is to find enjoyment in every experience within a dream.
No matter what happens, each additional experience gives you more perspective and that is always a good thing.

well keep up the goodness! we will be watching....
