Thread: was this a Lucid Dream???

Yep! Any time at all that you know you're dreaming, then you're lucid.

i know i should of tried to take control but i just had no control over what i was doing i think it might of just been part of my dream

No, you probably just had a low level of lucidity.

I'd count that, I think.

Nightmares tend to trigger brief moments of lucidity in me, too - just enough to get myself out of the bad situation. Then, back to normal.

(Hopefully I can change that, and stay lucid and control the dream more from there on. The tough part of the nightmare scenario is that once I get out of the bad part, the dream scene changes, and that makes it harder to maintain lucidity without proper training.)
