Dragon Flies Lucid Dream

Recently had a Lucid Dream experience that was not fun. I was swarmed by a large host of Dragon Flies buzzing at my head and I swatted one of them and felt it crushed in my hand. Even though it was unpleasant and reminiscent of an Alfred Hitchcock movie, it served to make me aware that I was in fact sleeping, because I thought I was awake.........but then I tried to wake myself up, and it was more difficult than normal, I was under so deep. It was like swimming under water toward the surface, but it seemed to take forever to get there. When I finally "surfaced", I awoke to see a ghost hovering over my husband(now my ex). I shooed it away, but I wonder now if the dragon flies were trying to wake me up to do that. Dragon Flies are usually my allies, so I can't see them being used in a negative way. Dragon Flies are also associated with dreaming and being messengers between the worlds, so again it seems to me that they were trying to wake me up for a purpose.
