This whole topic is highly subjective. I happen to have a highly prolific dream-rate and very good dream dream-recall but dreams are only a small part of our brain's activity.
On top of that I'm seriously crappy at getting lucid. I think your teacher's overstepping her bounds.
It's impossible to say that dream-rate=intelligence when scientists can't even agree what intelligence actually is.
about this
IQ you are right
does not mean you are smart
its a basic generalization of being smart. All it is, is recognizing patterns. So let me say I agree 110%
IQ means very little compared to actually BEING smart.
With that aside
TYPICALLY people with high IQs are smart. TYPICALLY there are people who just can't figure out the simple inconsistencies or a test.
So let me rephrase everything I said. IQ doesn't matter but, your ability to think does.
People do use the flawed system of IQ to prove they are smarter than others. It's not accurate by any means. But, its a TYPICAL number. Its easy to relate to. And for the most part its close on who does what how good.
A guy who is gifted in math is good at IQ tests theoretically. They are able to figure out and dissect problems. Not always remember its all hypothetical. Compared to a person well versed in English and oblivious to math as some are. Is a person who is able to communicate flawlessly and able to memorize things. Think about the 2 subjects. Math breaks apart things and makes you see them simpler. English is a memory game. All it does is make you memorize vocab and stories. There is more I know but, come on I don't gotta be too exact its only for reference.
To me, I'm smart I won't lie ask anyone. I know a lot about many subjects to many hobbies
Computers, vocabulary tutor, math tutor, photographer, picture manipulation, personal training, chef, audiophile, health advising. Many things interest me and I learn them rapidly.
but, in no means am I a genius.
To me a genius is not just smart. He is exceptional. I maybe very high ranked but, this guy is a genius.

not because of IQ but, his accomplishments.
What I'm trying to say is.
My IQ does remotely fit me. Correct?
Ok now my friend. Got a 150 on one of those online tests, he is a moron. I don't need to even explain this or how. Just simply put a moron. Kinda bothers me occasionally because of his stupidity.
Now my GF
She gets a 115 -120 on the online tests. She might not be a prodigy but, overall she is a good learner. Has a good head on her shoulders. And this proves IQ is conditional.
This is totally off topic sorry, but, my relation is
Smarter people tend to lucid dream, dumber people don't.
the guy above on page 1 who said he isn't very smart. Maybe not in book smarts, but, your realization has to be higher than average. Your ability to comprehend fiction vs reality. Personal recall altho its supposed to help I don't think is related much because people end their sleep in a dream as some don't. When you end during a dream your recall is much higher.
