While I have not successfully attained purposeful lucidity yet, I have experienced lucidity a couple of times before. It seems like when I realize it, I have only a couple of seconds before I wake up. But when I wake up it is close to the same time as when I normally wake up in the morning, so my question is: Does premature awakening mean that you wake up in the middle of the night, or do you simply stop dreaming until the time that you normally wake up?
