Huh. I never thought of it that way. 0.o I didn't count them because it's like, I don't even get to actually experience being lucid for even a split second when I wake up literally upon I becoming lucid. But I guess you're right; waking up as I realize I'm dreaming kinda is a thing that I need to work on. (Now I'm suddenly wondering if maybe I wake up like that because I'm kind of afraid of seeing how the dream world might've distorted some things... hm...)
Well. I've actually learned more from this thread then I intended to. Cool.
