Control in non-lucids.
Control in lucids.
Hey, I just took a nap and had quite a vivid dream but never became lucid. However, in the dream I used an array of dream powers that I probably would have struggled with in a lucid, including the some flying I had done. I was doing aerial maneuvers like never before, flying upside-down, barrel-rolling, flips, hovering, etc. I've never flown like this before, but I liked it very much and it seemed akin to how fighters fly in dogfighting video games (minus the fact I was still a body and could do things like hover and use my arms and legs). |

I'd say non lucids. You aren't concerned about limitations because you aren't in the driver's seat. But when you are it is much harder to do because you have to train yourself to lose those barriers set by the waking world. |

I'd say lucids. I think one of my biggest lucid-inducers is precisely taking control of a dream, so it's sort of both I guess. My earliest LDs, when I was a kid, were simply "ejection seat" episodes from nightmares. Granted, I have problems with basic activities in lucids, but I can usually manage far better than my haphazard (non)feats in regular dreams. |

Interesting topic. |

I agree very much with that theory, that's how I've always thought of the two. I think that's why making up reasons for things to work in your dreams can help give you dream control. It takes away that "but, this is impossible to do in real life!" factor and gives you the confidence that it will just work. |

Unfortunately you are right. Non-lucid control is easier because the mind simply assumes it to be the normal thing at that time. Whereas if one is lucid, logic and all the things like gravity and impossibilities comes in and spoils the whole thing. I had no problems using a remote to change the lights in the living room in a non-lucid dream but it din't work in a lucid dream even though I tried. |
|
I never really have control in non lucids. If I do gain control, then its usually followed by lucidity. |
|
I chose lucid, though it really matches non-lucid exactly. I have almost perfect dream control. Flight, phazing, teleportation, time travel... Never have I found my self limited in a dream. My non-lucids often have me performing equally astonishing feats, so perhaps that is why I find it so easy to do when I'm lucid? |
|
It's hard to say. It's definitely easier to do 'supernatural' things in non-lucids, because they seem perfectly normal to my dreamself. However, I wouldn't say that I really have control in them, either. I chose lucid. |

It is probably easier in non-lucids. |
