At the least, you were semi-lucid: not fully aware that you are dreaming but, subconsciously knowing that there's an 'out' (in the form of waking to escape).

If you've ever been in a situation where you've been able to explicitly think to yourself "This is a dream" or "I'm dreaming" then that's a lucid dream.

And welcome aboard. Hopefully you'll stick around and maybe improve your dream life even more.
