Did I have lucid dreams as a child without realizing it?

Date: 9/15/2018

So when I was around 4-7 I would have nightmares every. Single. Night. I remember crying before bed and praying that I would have a good dream. But from those nightmares I also remember something. In most of those nightmares, I always knew it was a dream. I would go around trying to convince everyone else in the dream that it was just a dream but they all thought I was crazy. As a child I thought this was normal and that everyone dreamed like that. I hardly ever know I'm dreaming now but when I was little almost every single dream I knew and I used that to my advantage to try to stop the dream. For example, once I was having a dream about the zombie apocalypse. Right off the bat, I knew it was a dream. Even though I knew it was a dream, it still scared me so I wanted it to be over. I tried so many things to end it. I would lay down on the ground and let the zombies get to me (I thought if I died in my dream I would wake up in real life). That didn't work though because after that someone came over and brought me back to life. So after that I tried to fall asleep in the dream (I thought if I fell asleep, I would wake up in real life). That didn't work either though because no matter how many times a layed down, I couldn't fall asleep. I think I just ended up waking up naturally. But that's what makes me think I was sort of a lucid dreamer when I was little without even realizing it. What do you guys think?
