It's fun when you suddenly become lucid, because then you can tell the people around you: "Guess what. I'm only dreaming! You guys don't even exist!"
On a slightly different note, does anyone experience sleep paralysis? It usually only happens to me if I've been sleeping for a very long time (>10 hours and I'm being lazy by staying in bed and escaping to dream worlds). When this happens each successive time I wake up I'll have a different hallucination. For example, just this last weekend there was a holographic owl that was sort of hanging out of the mirror in my room, and after that a strange black monster with sharp black teeth that was hovering overtop my dresser, then began to creep towards me and hung far over my bed snapping its teeth at me...and all the time unable to move, but somehow never afraid. I guess I'm lucky that I'm not one of those people who experience sleep paralysis in the middle of the night and are unable to move while they experience aliens jamming probes up their arses.
