Welcome back and congrats!

For me it, could have been a lucid, one of those spontaneous lucidity where you just get lucid out of nowhere. Taking a break indeed takes a toll on lucid dreaming. Sometime's it's like the body has a withdrawal from all the effort so the subconscious makes you lucid to get you back into it. Haha really tricky dont you think?

And taking the break could be the reason why you can't recall it too well. But did you feel some sort of excitement when you said you were dreaming? Sometimes lucid are hazy and unstable and this could just be one of them. The important thing is that you experienced it and if it felt legit to you, then that's all that matters. Cheers
