Candy-grams and Lucidity

My roommate had just gotten back from elsewhere and was taking a nap, and I too was trying to go back to sleep. A bunch of people entered our room, slowly at first and then filling it, leaving us candy and cards everywhere. Most of them I recognized from my high school, and I figured that the cheer leading squad's candy-gram program must have expanded it's destinations to colleges now too. My roommate got a thank you card, although not much else, and I got a bunch of stuff, including a tall glass full of candy from a younger student who had a crush on me or something.

I wasn't sure who had given my roommate his card, or if they had actually been with my high school, since no one there would've known him. I though maybe someone saw the people on their way to my room and asked them to give him something. I got up, going to close the door or something before we went back to sleep, and was talking to my roommate a bit. I was really sleepy, and noticed this because I was saying the wrong words; I called our room my farm or something.

Looking outside the door I noticed that our dorm looked a lot different; there was a cull-de-sac with several doors, and the door at the other end had just closed itself. It occurred to me that this may be a dream, so I looked at my hands. I had a lot of fingers and they were moving back and forth. I jumped back into my room, shouting excitedly at my roommate that this was a Lucid Dream! He asked if I'd done this before and I said yes, but not with so much control. I rubbed my hands together, shouted "Clarity" and sniffed a lazyboy chair that was suddenly in front of me to try to increase the dream's clarity. This seemed to maybe work a little to stabilize it.

I went out a second door that was in our room to look for something to do. I decided to use passive control to make the next room somewhere with people, and when I opened it I found myself in a large lounge with a bunch of couches. Soon after that I woke up.
