Mostly normal dreaming one can watch bizarre & crazy dream things, but still remain unaware that you are actually dreaming. Much of these dreams are left forgotten, unless someone tries to remember them on a regular basis.

In a lucid dream you are aware that you are consciously dreaming, and the experience can be quite vivid.

Spinning is used sometimes to keep the dream going a little longer if it starts to fade or you feel yourself waking up. Works for some people that way.

When someone first learns to lucid dream they may be excited and wake up suddenly too.

Keep dreaming and keep your mood light for now, do not worry as you slowly awaken to your dream-life.
