Earlier this morning I was skydiving in my dream and thought, "funny, I don't skydive." So I did a couple reality checks and had a lucid dream But what was interesting was that this happened when I was half awake, I was still dreaming but I was concious of my surroundings in the waking world. I saw in my mind's eye some sort of a "vividness meter" and it was set at 1. Then it just unconciously rised up to 50, and it was as if I was pulled into the dream, like it wrapped itself around me into full blown vividness and lucidity.

Has anyone ever tried something like this before? It would be interesting to try in the future, rather than trying to order your way into more vivideness, just change it with some device.
