      As real as real life but with less detail is what I've heard

      As real as real life. That is, once your dream recall improves. Can't expect great results without working for them.
      Lucid dreams, gotta love em.

      There's always a slight dreamy aspect to my lucid dreams, but if I'm lucid they're usually very realistic. Things feel real, small real, and taste real for me. It differs between people though, because some people have more vivid dreams than others.

      Edit: I should also add that my dreams, personally, have as much detail as in waking life if you focus enough on it.

      We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
      some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

      As real as life in terms of sight/sound/smell/touch and taste ....but I always seem to find that I feel very warm. Its only after you wake up things seems a little bit more blurred.

      As real as real life (as everyone states) but there seem to happen strange things in them for me which seem real at the time, but when I'm awake it just doesn't make sense.

      Can be as real as waking, problem is, not all lucids are like that, some may be like waking, some may feel dreamy, some will be like a distant memory, etc, etc.

      In my opinion, dream memories are no different than real life memories. For example, I took a shower two hours ago. I remember taking a shower, I remember what it felt like, how long I took, and what I was thinking. But when I picture it in my head, it's all fuzzy and blurry. See, there really is no difference, memories are memories. What matters most is how you feel WHILE it's happening, of course this is easier in waking life because things are stable and we're concious, so as far ad dreams being real, you need to improve your dream recall but most importantly, you need to implant in your head that the next time you become lucid you will stabalize. It's always good to have a plan.
      Lucid dreams, gotta love em.

      I am reading Bradley Thompson's 'Lucid Dreaming in 7 Days' currently, and he suggests waking up at intervals of 4 1/2 hours, then 90 min later, then 90 min later again to awaken right after or during REM sleep. Then write down everything that you can remember of your dreams to help with dream recall.

      Also I'm performing reality tests constantly throughout the day so that hopefully my dream-self remembers to ask the questions "Am I Dreaming?" I think a good place to start is working on dream recall and making reality checks a habit, then learning about what your personal "dreamsigns" are and training your brain to look for them. I hope that helps!

      Sweet dreams!!!
