Does it just feel like a regular dream? Or does it actually feel like you've woken up into a totally new environment?
It's ordinary to have a sense of wonder that everything in this Dream World is so solid and so real. Most people ruin the experience by insisting out loud that none of it is 'real', but I feel that they are quite missing the point of it all. The Wonder of it is that one's Subjective Reality has indeed become real.

But there is another slightly different dimension to Lucidity and this is INTENSITY. After awhile with some experience of Lucidity, one can grade one's dreams on a scale of intensity. And then, even during the progress of some Lucid Dreams, one can feel whether the Energy or Intensity of the dream is ebbing or waning.
