Hi Collateral, welcome to Dreamviews!


Usually when one becomes lucid (especially the first few times), it's a blast of awareness. You suddenly realize you're in a dream, and you can get pretty excited. People who aren't used to lucid dreaming have to be wary of getting overexcited at first, because they might wake up. You can definitely feel, smell, see, and hear things in lucid dreams, just like in real life. Of course, things are more surreal at times, but they can be very realistic. I've rubbed my hands along a stucco wall and it felt like the real thing.

You can consciously think, depending on how aware you are within the dream... Sometimes you become lucid but aren't able to change the dream plot because you're not that aware, but other times it's like you're fully conscious.

If I were to rate my average lucidity on a scale from 1 to 10, I'd give it a 7. It's a bit less than fully conscious, but conscious enough to change the dream plot, teleport myself, and do all sorts of awesome stuff.
