I had a similar situation just recently - only worse; when I suddenly became aware that I was dreaming, I thought "ah, a lucid dream! So I can do what I want here? Cool... what do I want to do...? Er... er... er... oh bugger I'm waking up now." Once I was awake, and had the chance to think about it, I realised that the aspect of my dreams I love most is their complete unpredictability despite also being completely convincing, and I was rather scared that I'd never get that back.

Happily the next night I was back to good old-fashioned vivid dreams.
