I've read the tips on the site concerning how to get lucid dreams some two weeks ago and I thought about it on occasion but although I've dreamt I never had the experience of lucidity until last night.
I was in the middle of a dream and at one time I was in a restaurant located at a hotel when I suddenly see my dog, who died some years ago. I immediately realized that I should be dreaming because of the impossibility. So I kept walking and while I was in a corridor full of doors I remembered a past girlfriend. A moment afterwards I heard the sound of a ping-pong ball hitting the floor and I saw it standing close to a door. She used to tell a lousy joke concerning a ping pong ball so I opened the door and saw her and her brother inside the room.
From there the dream started turning slightly erotic and at one time I thought that her brother should go away and puff, he wasn't there in the room anymore. We started making out then until she said something (I won't reproduce it here) that struck me as completely weird. Next moment I simply woke up in bed and although I couldn't remember what happened before I saw my deceased dog I still can recall what happened afterwards.
Was this a lucid dream? I had that initial moment of conciousness but afterwards what I recall is that I had no lucid control, things simply come up to my mind and they happened.
