Well if you knew you were dreaming already, then you were Lucid. Just a low level. you'll probably have better luck next time.

Don't worry about being retarded in your dream. We all are! It's very easy to get confused in them.
Will my awareness just build up over time? It's easy for me to say (in waking life), "Dummy, I just said I know I am in a dream. Do a test," but in the dream I was just so dumb that never entered my mind.
