The way you reached your lucid dream is actually a MILD - Mnemonically Induced Lucid Dream. This is where you repeat a mantra while falling asleep to increase your chances of getting a DILD.

Dream control takes time to master - don't worry about it at first. Worry about getting lucid first. Also, don't worry about the length of your lucid dreams either - they will get longer with time.
