I know little about the technical side of lucid dreaming but it sounds like a night terror to me.

Unlike nightmares, which are frequently a scary event dreamt (e.g. a monster under the bed, falling to one's death, etc.), night terrors are not dreams in the same way. There is no situation or event, scary or otherwise, that is dreamt but rather the emotion of fear itself is felt, often coupled with tension, apprehension and so on.[/b]
Unlike nightmares, night terrors occur during the deepest levels of non-REM sleep.[/b]
