   I have had this experiance many times... in fact it happens to me   
   almost every time I awaken from lucid dreaming.  With me it is almost   
   like I am still in the dream but things start to become blurry and I am   
   unable to make big movements etc.  I find that if i move any part of my   
   body other than breathing I become totally awake.  For me this is a   
   great time to try to get back into the previous dream or just dwell on   
   what I just did.
