I had a non lucid dream where I was about to fall off this apparatus and I was worried but I put things in to perspective by thinking "well its ok cause I'm dreaming" and i thought like "What? I'm dreaming and I know that?" and then i knew I was dreaming and i was lucid but the actual first thought was not while I was lucid. It was as if i new it all along but didn't acknowledge it.

What are some strange ways you became lucid?
