Hey brighterdays, welcome to DreamViews first of all!

Sounds to me like you had a bunch of False Awakenings (FA's). But, like you said, the fact that you told yourself to wake up, means that in that moment at least, you were lucid. As long as, in any part of the dream, you KNOW you're dreaming, you have achieved lucidity. Of course, learning dream control makes the lucid experience more fun.

Have you had any other dreams like this? For example, dreams where you believed you were awake but weren't? Or where you told yourself to wake up? Just curious so I can better answer your questions.
