Ps. I don't know if I should count that dream in my LD count, as it was basically 1 second of awareness before waking up.
Congratulations, BlairBros! That's great! It's totally up to you whether or not you want to include it in your LD count, but no matter how you classify it, it's a very good sign.

I have these pretty frequently and I refer to them as "micro-lucids". If you get a lot of these, the DEILD tech is perfect for turning them into full-length lucid dreams.

Also, when you woke up, did you pop completely awake or did things just sort of go black first? Because if a dream goes black, that doesn't necessarily mean it's over. If you can remember, try doing something like immediately rubbing the hands of your dream body together. Sometimes you can keep things going!

Either way, good stuff...
