Welcome to Dream Views firsake

Sounds like you were getting the beginnings of a WILD, albeit an incomplete one. To be actually lucid, like spirit said, you must be aware that you are dreaming while you are dreaming. Dream control is a moot point if you're not even aware that it is in fact just a dream.

But sounds like you may be getting the WILD technique down. You should read up on the WILD Tutorial and keep trying. Good Luck.
