Mourningstarr, this kind of thing happens. Tonight I dreamt of being alone in a party, I wanted some company and then I thought “heck, this is a dream, I’ll just approach anyone and start a conversation”. Believe me or not, it wasn’t enought to get me truly lucid. 
So don’t worry, you’ll have a great many of these in your lucid quest (take a look at this topic)! The next step, I’d say, is to keep having dreams like these, and always be trying to pay closer attention while focusing on the intent of becoming lucid.
