Lucid Dreaming

GAAAH IM SO GIDDY
Well, not now. But I was when this happened.
Last night -- well, OK, this morning -- I was dreaming that I was with my family (impossible in real life, since they're approximately 4,316 miles away), but then I realized that I was supposed to help my cousin move today (true in real life). I looked at the clock and I was like 'cause it was well into the afternoon already. Then I looked again. (It was a digital clock.) Suddenly the numbers had changed: it was something like 11:30 AM. I was like . And as I kept staring at the clock, the numbers started to melt and shift and dance randomly, and I couldn't get a lock on what it said at all. And THEN I remembered :!!!: from the movie Waking Life, where that one guy talks about lucid dreaming. This is exactly what happened with the main character. He would wake up in the morning and not be able to read his digital clock, because the numbers were all screwy. And the guy tells him that that's because he's dreaming. Any time you look at something, look away, and look again, and it's different, you should know you're dreaming.
Well, then I got so excited to be finally, finally having a lucid dream, that I woke myself up from all the excitement. :annoyed2: But it was time to wake up, anyway, so *shrug*.
Have any of you ever had success with lucid dreaming? I'd love to hear about it.
