Bump because I had my first lucid dream last night.
I don't know how I triggered it, but it was right after a normal dream, and a quite creepy one at that. Right after I woke up from the first dream, I didn't move - or rather I couldn't. I laid there with my eyes closed for a few minutes until I noticed a light in the center of my vision. It slowly grew larger and larger until I was able to make out a shape inside of it. It was the floor lamp in my room. I stared at it until it finally consumed my entire vision.
I think this is the point I was finally pulled into the lucid dream. I was laying on my bed, staring at the lamp. I remember breathing very heavily and shaking quite violently as I stood up. The entire thing had a very uneasy and uncomfortable feeling about it. When I finally got to my feet, I looked around to get a bearing on my surroundings.
My bed was in a small clearing in the woods, and almost nothing outside of the light from the lamp was visible. Naturally, the first thing I did was try flying. I jumped around like an idiot a couple times, slowly feeling lighter and lighter. As soon as my feet got off the ground, I woke up faster than I could do anything to stop it.
What a load of stuff.
