I think it's natural to not necessarily remember ALL of a dream...as long as you remember some, and are able to write it down, i wouldn't worry too much...from what you've already written, sounds like your recall is pretty good!
A recall dry spell is where you remember nothing, or what you do remember is hazy...and it does sound like you had a low level lucid, where you realised you were dreaming, but could do nothing about it.
