I am not a lucid reamer nor to I take benzodiazepines, but I do occasionally have dreams that I suddenly realize are dreams and then wake up into another dream. Occasionally, this too results in my realizing I'm dreaming and waking into another dream, where the pattern repeats at faster and faster pace until I'm just examining the way my bedroom appears in each iteration looking for how it is wrong and trying desperately to wake up for real this time.
I can confirm that it is pretty terrifying. Fortunately for me, I've developed an appreciation of nightmares and actually don't mind it all.
