I re-read your post and when I think back to the couple of lucids I've had so far, all have been DILDS, and they were spontaneous. I didn't see something and think "thats not possible, this must be a dream". It was like BAM, randomly totally awake, and THEN the "holy s#*#, this is a dream". What made me snap out of it I can't say, there was plenty going on there before hand to tip me off and in one I became lucid in the most realistic setting possible in that dream. So basically, the awareness showed up after the random moment of awakening, not before. So I guess the trick is to figure out what causes that change over
