That's the basic idea. If you knew you were dreaming, not just thinking about DV, then you were lucid. If you weren't able to tell yourself, "I'm dreaming," you probably weren't lucid, persay, but you were very close. I'd say that at the least you're making excellent progress! I hope that you continue working at it and find yourself having more awesome LDs before long! Let us know if there's anything we can do to help.
