Epic Dreamscape

This is the first entry to my dream journal, and it's the only Lucid dream that I'll put in here that happened in the past. Everything else will be a dream I have within a week of when it's posted.

It didn't start out as an LD, and I was wondering through a forest of Bamboo. I came upon a small pond with the bamboo slightly cleared around it, and as I started towards it, a tiger poked it's head out of the bamboo. I felt kind of scared then, but as it leaned it's head in closer to mine, the fear slowly dissipated, until I was looking at the Tiger as I would an old friend. Then, it spoke, and I can't exactly recall what it said, but it was one word, and for the sake of the story, I'll say that it said "Waken". Anyway, after it said the word, I gained Lucidity right there. All of a sudden, the colors became sharper, everything was more focused and bright, and that wave of happiness and excitement that you get when you become lucid (especially for the first time) washed over me, and it woke me up.
