I have had this experience: I am dreaming and a noise intrudes upon 
the dream.  My mind attempts to incorporate the noise into the
dream, but it causes an incongruous situation (within the dream).
This was sufficient to awaken me (if I didn't awaken I wouldn't
remember the dream).  Sorry I can't give any details of the dream
but I can't remember them.
