I had a dream experience this afternoon I want to share. Basically I realized I was dreaming. Now every time this happens, I immediately wake up before even thinking the words lucid dream. This time, however, I was able to think "I'm going to make this a lucid dream" and tried to make my conscious thoughts affect my environment. This was totally ineffective, which confused me, and the line between dreaming and waking up started to blur (it's usually a fast jolt). I slipped in and out of the dream until finally consciousness won.
BUT as it turns out I woke up into a second layer of my dream which I then spent lots of time in completely unaware I was dreaming until the same thing happened again. I was pulled into yet another layer of dreaming where I thought I had woken up from an unsuccessful attempt at lucid dreaming. Overall I had 3 layers of dreams, and two unsuccessful attempts at lucid dreaming before "waking up" into the next dream where everything reset. Shit was really, really weird. When I woke up I felt like I'd been asleep for days, but it had really only been two hours.
