GUIZE! I think I came close to having a Lucid dream last night
I was in a dream where I was in the Minecraft Netherworld (which was strangely flooded with water instead of lava). When suddenly multitudes of huge robotic machines with an appearance similar to the Colossi of Starcraft 2 (albeit a blockier Minecraft styled version) started spawning in mass and attacked me with their thermal lances (that's Starcraft language for Death Rays).
I was chased into a small dead-end cavern by the hordes of giant machines. Since they were huge I figured I could hide in the small tunnels, but since this is minecraft the machines were able to destroy the surrounding rock and tunnel their way towards me, getting closes and closer
Then suddenly I realized: "Wait…I'm dreaming, why am I doing this to myself?" and then I summoned this massive badass rocket launcher and nuked those machines with rapid fire rocket spam. Then I summoned the BFG 9000 from Quake with infinite ammo and went on a rampage.
However the dream seemed to quickly lose stability at this point. I began to lose the immersion and gain consciousness. I experienced something Brucker described earlier: I ended up just staring at the back of my eyelids, totally awake. The dream was reduced to just a thought and I could no longer return to it.
Yup. Any dream where you realize during the middle of it that you're dreaming is a lucid dream, regardless of what you do or how long it lasts. In fact, even though I'm a seasoned veteran compared to most, my lucid dreams still tend to only last for a minute or so. :( And I've had 44 of the bastards.
Congratulations on having your first lucid dream, anyway.
