This might be hard to explain, but its been bugging me for the past couple of days and I've been, actually, losing sleep over it.

I have dreams while I'm in a state of semi-conciousness. Well, I'm not sure if this constitutes at Lucid dreaming, since I understand that to be conscious IN your dreams, and not conscious OUTSIDE of your dreams.

I've had lucid dreams before, being aware of dreaming and changing the dream. But these dreams I have no control over. These instances usually occur in the semi-consciousness state that happens right as you wake up, but are too tired still to stay up. So that I am consciously aware of my surroundings of my room (not a false awakening) but there is a dream going on in my room.

Exmaple, this morning I was trying to sleep, but people were sitting at the end of my bed talking. It would move from me, seeing my room empty, to seeing people sitting on my bed. I specifically remember looking at my alarm clock, noting the time as 9:47. Realizing that my alarm was going to go off in 3 minutes, I actually physically brought my entire body out of sleep and, looking at my clock, it was still 9:47. (is that example makes any sense)

So, my question is, can this be considered a form of lucid dreaming. If so, how do you stop it? Because this dream has been haunting me for almost every night for the past week, always a different senerio though and its not the most restful kind of sleep either.
