Lucid dream means you realize it is a dream world...so if in the dream that you said was not lucid, you recognized it was a dream...then it WAS indeed a lucid dream my friend...however if while INSIDE the dream you did not recognize that you were in a dream it would count as a fake lucid dream...I think maybe you got the "lucid" term confused but I am happy to have been able to possibly clarify it for you in greater detail...

Let me know if this thread DID NOT help you so I can learn from it...

Note that I do not use any sort of timer other than watching the clock as i drift asleep.

Sincerely,
