So did I really want to be sliding my bike on its side, not reallly, but yes I did lay it down on purpose

That is just low siding. Not intentionally laying it down.
Intentionally laying it down is the most useless thing you can do. You have no control over where you are sliding, or what you are going to hit. Keep the bike upright, and SQUEEZE the front brake, and jump on the rear too. You will have a chance to stop, and a good chance to swerve then(or slow down alot more than you would if you 'laid it down'.
