I think gdawson6 meant being lucid while sleeping (not dreaming).

This book talks about it:

I have read somewhere about advanced yogi's being concious of the deep sleep, and that it is one of the best experiences.  

Recently, before I wake up from a lucid dream, everything will just fade to black.  I am not aware of any body, but I am aware of some movement, but thats all.  I can feel and think, but there is nothing else.  Its similar to just floating on an innertube in the ocean.  It is very peaceful, and tihs usually happens for a few minutes before I wake up.

I have also acheived this state by basically falling asleep in a dream.  It may just be a prolonged transition state between dreams and waking life but who knows.  Any similar experiences, and does this sound like me being concious of my deep sleep for short periods of time?
