Don't confuse Lucidity with Awareness.

You say you were fully aware that you were in a dream. Thats lucidity right there. Even if you have no control or awareness, you were lucid.

Its normal to have varying levels of awareness in lucid dreams. Sometimes your completely aware and nothing phases you and you act as if you were fully awake, and other times you still succumb to dream logic. For example, I had a nightmare last week with dinosaurs chasing me. I realized I was dreaming, but still crapped my pants when I realized some velociraptors where about to get in where I was hiding. I even thought to myself that if I stand my ground they will turn into something nice because they aren't real. But I couldn't do it, I still ran away. Eventually it caught me, forcing my hand and I somehow managed to kill it with my bare hands.
Other times it's the opposite. I realize its a nightmare and jump out in the open and taunt the thing chasing me, then zap it with some lightning from my hands or something, completely destroying it.

I think its something you have to work at to become fully aware every time. I'm still a long way from that goal.
