I've heard frequent lucid dreamers say that their LDs are just as detailed as real life. So far, I haven't been able to stay in a LD for longer than a few seconds. But I have memories of, during those few seconds, being astounded at how detailed everything is. When I think about it though, in real life, I look around me and see details that it seems I couldn't come up with in a dream. It seems that maybe, I was so excited at how realistic it seemed, I exaggerated and convinced myself it was just as realistic as real life, while really it wasn't that realistic.

Do you think lucid dreams are just as realistic as real life, or that people exaggerate even slightly when they claim that?
