If you had realized in the dream that you were dreaming, that would be a lucid dream. And that realization is unforgettable. It's a unique feeling. It changes you from observer into an actor inside your dream. If you had realized you dreaming, you would not have forgotten about it. You would have most likely woke up from it, all excited. Especially, if it was a DILD.

But dreaming about lucid dreaming, Rcs, and all your practice you do, is normal. And a very good sign, that you are doing it right, and your fist lucid is near. Just make sure you are doing your Rcs correctly - using emotions. I use same emotions as fogelbise described. Then this startling thought will make you stop anything yo doing in your non-lucid dream and will get you lucid.
