Did you know you can control a dream and not even be lucid?

This happens to me quite a lot, I always feel I'm watching a movie in first person view. RCing (reality checks) helps you become lucid in these type of dreams, just reality check in randomly, tell yourself how you got there, did you see anything unusual, and count how many fingers you have or plug your nose and see if you can still breath.

To increase dream recall, you should get a Dream Journal. Oh and welcome to Dream Views.
