I think i was in the Astral for the first time ever.

i remember i was somewhere with my mom, something she said was so bad that it made me think 'this is a dream' so immediately i tried to remember what to do when you need to keep that state. so i looked at my hands and rubbed them just so i could remain in the state. then i tried to spin in circles. i dont remember actually spinning but i still tried. when i was doing this i wasnt in my house but soon after that i left my house and thought 'if this is really a dream i can fly' so i left out the door and thought about lifting of and i was in the air. the flying part sucked to me though, the best part was me actually realizing i was in a dream because it was sooooo clear and i really felt like i was in another world like i just transported there. somewhere though i felt something pulling me out of the clarity i had. i was still aware it was a dream but not as much as when i first realized it so i tried to stop it but it didnt help. the rest seemed like a regular dream even though i was still somewhat in control.

Well, I can say with relative certainty that what you experienced was, at the very least, a lucid dream. 

The Lucid Awareness and Astral Awareness states are quite similar, the only difference being in the Astral Awareness state, you'll have much the same kind of awareness as if you were wide awake and going about your daily physical life.  So, at the time you were having this experience, did you remember anything about the physical you lying in bed sleeping? 

In either case, you definitely had a conscious "non-physical" experience, and that is great! 
Congrats.
