So maybe this is 100% normal, but i don't recall it happening like this before. I'm lying in my bed, trying to fall asleep. This was in the evening, i was in bed for my nights sleep. I'm dozing off in and out of consciousness. I'm also thinking about lucid dreaming, Not attempting anything, just trying to think about it a lot, however not forcing anything, i am quite relaxed. All of a sudden I forget im trying to fall asleep and am in a dream. I'm not lucid. I stand there looking at the clouds...they look like there is about to be a big storm. It is very vivid. So im admiring the beautiful clouds, all of a sudden i see that they look weird, to defined almost. And i am snapped awake. Its weird because it was only 5-10 seconds long but it was so vivid.

Is this normal? I only ask because it was so vivid and i didnt know i was dozing off. It was like a dream that i entered instantly into. I think it is probably normal....but can it be used to induce lucid dreams? If it had been longer maybe i could have gone lucid.
