I've had a lot of lucid dreams and they are awesome!
This is EXACTLY what it feels like for me:

I've had my first lucid dreams when I was 17, during the 9 minutes snooze interval of my alarm clock. I had a nice dream when my alarm clock went off, so I killed it quickly (you become quite efficient in this if you're lazy like me) and continued dreaming, but now I knew I was dreaming. The next 9 minutes felt like an hour to me, and it was awesome.
I continued to try this every day. It didn't work all the time, but at least twice a week. It depends on my state of mind: When I'm stressed and start thinking of the day to come when I wake up, it won't work, but when I'm relaxed and have nothing to worry about I'm in :-)
It became harder to do that when I grew older. When I was 20-ish I was curious about nootropics and tried Piracetam and Pramiracetam. Lucid dreaming started to be more vivid and regular for me than it ever was. Most of the time I used these dreams to do some kind of "Virtual traveling". I went on a trip to anywhere I want, and do anything I could. I could even use it to have sex during these dreams, and when I woke up, I was 2 seconds away from orgasm.
Due to circumstances it stopped completely for 2-3 years, but now I still have lucid dreams 1-3 times a month. And I still love them more than anything.
