Is this lucid dreaming? How to prevent it?

So I would say maybe once or twice every few months I go into what I think are lucid dreams. I normally go into a normal dream which I can control (e.g I might think to myself don't jump in the river but I will instead if that makes sense). I then wake up or I think I have as I see my own surroundings but then I realise I am still in dream state as I can't move. I may also hear voices shouting at me or music and sometimes a person might be in my view or an animal e.g one time I could see I was lying in my bed and then a snake went up to me and I woke up. Is this what lucid dreaming is?. Although they only last a few minutes I find them pretty scary. Anything I can do to prevent it?

Some of what you are describing seems like sleep paralysis. Search into it as i can't be bothered to describe it, but it is safe and it's normal to hallucinate seeing,hearing even feeling stuff. Just become comfortable with it as if you are scared of the feeling you will get bad hallucinations like you said a snake but if you become ok with it everything will be fine some people use it to do cool stuff. Being able to lucid dream is a great thing and if i was you i would look more into it. I also think what you are doing is lucid dreaming but not very well as it can feel like real life, i do lucid dream and you can do anything eg fly,go to mars, meet anyone, be an animal
