   Well, isn't it actually desirable to wake up early when having a 
lurid dream?

   What is the purpose of looking at your hands - how exactly does it 
help? I've never had a lucid dream (what I consider to be a lucid 
dream), although I'd very much like to. What usually happens is that 
whenever I sleep and have a dream, no matter how vivid, or dull, or 
whatever, I never recognize it as a dream. Never has even the suspicion 
that it might be a dream crossed my mind - it is always perceived as 
real and actually happening.
   Unless, of course, another experience qualifies: Sometimes, when I'm 
unable to sleep, the scenarios that I play out before my mind's eye take 
a life of their own. I no longer direct them - they unfold like in a 
dream, but I don't experience myself sleeping. I can feel myself (at the 
periphery) lying in bed, and should something in the room change (a 
sound, a light coming on or off), I'm aware of it and might react. In 
addition, the time spent that way is not restful. At the end of such a 
sequence, I don't feel rested, but rather feel as having lied awake in 
my bed, and just the fantasies were more independent than usual.
   For a real lucid dream one has to be asleep, right?
