I have had a few lucid dreams and this one false awakening that was one of the strangest things that ever happened to me. I was sleeping in my bed when I woke up and went to turn my reading lamp on but it just clicked and didn't come on. I just thought that the light bulb must of burnt out so I got out of bed and walk downstairs and over to the light switch on the wall by the front door. When I flipped the switch the light didn't come on and then I started to get this real weird feeling that I don't think I am in Kansas any more and the next thing I know is I wake up in my bed. Since I had that false awakening I believe that I have become more energy conscious and always try to remember to turn off the lights and fan when I leave a room. Something positive came out of it I guess.
Here is an interesting book that I read before
http://www.amazon.com/Brain-Inner-Wo...9869107&sr=8-1
I think that it has one chapter on dreams and hallucinations. When they used to give schizophrenics lobotomies one of the ways they could tell if the lobotomy was performed successfully was if the patient no longer dreamed.
Stephen LaBerge is like the god father of lucid dreaming if you are really serious about trying to develop that skill. Happy trails
