That sounds like you were lucid dreaming, but with a low of lucidity, or clarity? How is your general dream recall?
And I assume this is your first lucid experience?
I've only had a few short Lucids, but the clarity was way in excess of my normal dream recall. Try the techniques described on this site for dream stabilisation and clarity if you can.
That usually means asserting to yourself that you will get clarity, and interacting with all your senses in the dream.

Good luck!
