Many people say that when they first become lucid everything gets suddenly much more vivid and bright. Strangely, I find the opposite to often be true. When I become lucid, the dream usually starts to lose it's vividness and I have to work to make it realistic again. I think this has something to do with the fact that when I'm non-lucid, I BELIEVE that everything that's happening is real, so it seems much more realistic, and then if I become lucid, I know it's not real so it starts to get more murky/unrealistic. What are your experiences with this, and have you noticed any other general differences between non-lucid and lucid dreams?
