Taragaram, welcome to DV .

If you didn't realise that you were dreaming, it wasn't a lucid dream. But it's quite good that you had some level of control in the dream. For lucid dreaming more often, I'd first recommend keeping a dream journal if you don't already. You should also do reality checks throughout the day, and focus on what you're doing as you do it (don't just do the RCs out of habit). This will help with DILD and also with MILD (Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream), should you choose to try that. I'd say lucid dreaming requires only three things: effort, patience, and confidence.
