Hi there To answer your question, having control is different than becoming lucid. It's only considered a lucid dream if you know that you're dreaming.

You can control aspects of a dream without being lucid, and vice versa - you can be lucid and have no control. The two things are not dependant on each other, but the goal of most people (and the point of this forum) is to have control over a lucid dream. Thereby, being able to control what you dream about and how the dream unfolds.
