some of the articles that i have read about lucid dreaming say that a normal dream is like a tv show or a movie. what ever happens, happens and you have no control over it. none of my dreams are like this in all of my dreams i can control all of my movements, i can reason, sometimes change surroundings, and sometimes i am actually aware that i am dreaming. i will give you an example of one of my normal dreams.

i was in my backyard with my mom at night and i was climbing a fence and a squirrel jumps up and almost bites my face off! i run to the front of my house and run in the door. i shut it and lock it. i run upstairs to my porch and try to turn on my porch light but it seems to be burned out. then i hear i cold, evil, minister, and slow knock at the door. it was the squirrel!! my dad tells me to open the door because it is my mom. i ran over to the porch light trying to get it to work to prove to my dad that a evil squirrel is after me and that my mom is still in the backyard. and then i started to actually started to think, the squirrel must of chewed through the wire earlier so that i couldnt prove to my dad that an evil squirrel was trying to eat my face off. and now i couldn't turn the light on to prove my dad that that wasn't my mom. then i woke up.

who knew a squirrel could be so smart!?!?! now, sireously does this sound like one of your normal dreams or like a lucid dream?
