hi amigo,
the same exact sort of thing has happened to me! In both of my "lucid" experiences, i felt like i had really no control over what was happening, but merely felt a higher sense of awareness, a realization of the fact that i was dreaming, even though i had little control over what was happening. it was like my subconscious was still directing everything, and i was just more aware than usual. after further reflection, i began to question whether or not i had actually been lucid, and whether or not i had just dreamt of being lucid. But after asking some other lucid experts, they told me that setting up better dream recall (through the use of dream journals, etc.) will help this tremendously; and i think just a measure of experience will allow your consciousness to take more control over the dream. I have not gotten there yet, but ill be trying right there next to ya
