Lucidity can come about in a variety of ways. Sometimes, you go straight from waking state to a lucid dream without losing consciousness. At other times, you suddenly realize in the dream that you're dreaming. And sometimes it's a gradual realization (this is how it's been in my short experience). For a brief list of how lucid dreams can come about, see the acronym list. Does that help?

It does indeed. Thanks, man.
