Remember, a lucid dream is a dream in which you know that you are dreaming. nothing more, nothing less. in other words: realizing you're dreaming = becoming lucid.

I suppose that would mean you were lucid but just didn't know it (until you read this )

Maybe what you're wondering about is why you didn't get concious control over the dream. In that case, the answer would be you were just unlucky. You did realize you were dreaming but your lucidity was so low that you didn't realize what that meant.
