It seems like a lot of people experience a flash of lucidity right as they are waking up. Sometimes, the shock of becoming lucid will be enough to instantly wake you up. As long as you realized it was a dream, you were lucid

Slipping in and out of dreams, like that, gives you some good opportunities to realize you are dreaming. When I am dozing in and out of sleep on a lazy morning, I often find I get a hazy sort of dual awareness. I will be having a vivid dream, but also be aware of myself sleeping in bed.
