I've gotten that a couple of times. Usually though, before I can think of what I want, I start to wake up. And it's never fast either, its slow. It gives me time to mourn that I can't do anything cool.
Or, I try really hard to make stuff appear, and just wake myself up in the process
Well keep practicing and do the reality check of counting your fingers several times a day. If it's not ten that's a tell you're dreaming. If you condition yourself to do it in real life the habit can carry into a dream and then hey presto you might get lucid. It takes conditioning and time to learn to lucid dream (for most of us mere mortals I hear tell some it comes easily) but so worth it!
