I haven't been able to lucid dream for real yet, though several times I feel like I know that I'm dreaming. But there's a chance that's just when I wake up. Can't really tell.
Anyway how real does a lucid dream feel? Is it more or less like reality? My regular dreams sort of feel real, but never realistic. I mean I never know I'm dreaming and when I wake up it feels like I'm looking through the wrong end of a telescope, but it definitely doesn't feel very real. If I successfully have a lucid dream someday, will it feel more or less like reality?

Also, can anyone vouch for the effectiveness of the technique on this forum entitled "Want to start having lucid dreams now? I can help" - which is the DIELD method. Multiple awakenings sounds scary, but I don't think I'd care, provided this method works. The guide isn't that clear though.

I'm really eager to have a lucid dream and want to try that method out. What results will it give me? Will it work? Will it feel real? Will I have dream control?

Also, if I know I'm having a lucid dream, yet can't seem to exercise control over the scene, can I try to do that while in the actual dream? Just think hard about controlling it and do it? Or is it apparent from the start whether or not dream control is there?

Oh and can you stop time in a dream so that it feels longer? [How long does an average lucid dream stay considering this doesn't happen?] And does lucid dreaming drown you of any mental/physical stamina in real life?

And just one more thing - binaural beats - can anyone provide a link to a good one that induces lucid dream practically all the time? [Do binaural beats even work that well?]

I'd really appreciate answers to these questions [especially the one about the post with the method] as I'm really curious. Thanks.
