<human>: This morning I awoke from a lucid dream.  I was not able to control my surroundings, and my consciousness fluttered between recognizing my dream state and being completely oblivious. I knew at times that what I was perceiving wasn't reality, but I remember being SHOCKED at how "real" everything was.  The most vivid part of my dream sequence went a little something like this:

At one point I found myself playing with a cute, little puppy. I'm not sure what breed, but I remember that it was brown, small, energetic, and *very* fuzzy. It was the fuzziness that caused me to begin to doubt that I was actually dreaming.  I knew I was dreaming up till this point, but I was flabbergasted by the softness and warmness of the puppy. I thought, "There is no way in HELL this isn't real!"  It was after this experience when I  began doubting my certainty of my dream state.  I convinced myself that there was no way that I could invent, or make up these sensations.

After the puppy, there was also a girl about my age, maybe a year or two younger, and that was also a very vivid experience.  The dream progressed a short while longer, and I awoke with this memory. I am still bewildered at how vivid and alive my surroundings were, and even more amazed that I remembered these details.

Anyways, I was just hoping to hear about other people's experiences with lucid/vivid dreams.
