Just how vivid/realistic can L.D be?

hey all i am newbee here but i learned many things on lucid dreaming by searching on DVs & google but didnt had one fully LD..had semi-lucid,,where i somehow knew i was in a dream but could'nt control it..Now i started keeping a dream journal since 10 days or so & i remember like 1 full,2 vague dreams as of now.Now on DV while reading the tutorials i noticed something unlike any other site..while reading tutorial i found this
1) DILD - "Dream Induced Lucid Dream"

Average dream clarity/vividness - 6/10
Average awareness - 6/10

2) WILD - "Wake Induced Lucid Dream"

Average dream clarity/vividness - 7.5/10
Average awareness - 8.5/10

3) DEILD - "Dream Exit Induced Lucid Dream"

Average dream clarity/vividness - 7/10
Average awareness - 7/10

4) MILD - "Mnemonic Induced Lucid Dream"

Average dream clarity/vividness - 6/10
Average awareness - 6/10

5) WBTB - "Wake Back to Bed"

Average dream clarity/vividness - 6/10 for DILD, 7.5/10 for WILD
Average awareness - 6/10 for DILD, 8.5 for WILD

It seems that dream clarity/vividness & awareness is rated..I want 2 know just how much is this 6 or 7 in 10 want 2 know about both clarity/vividness & awareness..& how much is for an average dream in 10??? & can experienced lucid dreamers reach 10/10 in both areas??how much is dat???can someone exceed dat.. I mean is it being compared with real life or like d resolutions & graphics in a game,,like playing in normal
inbuilt graphics is 6 & with a good graphics card is 8-9...& does the sensations/feelings/hearing/taste also increase...& suppose i started with 6,can i increase it at my will....
sorry all of u it may seem lame or foolish 4 most of u but 4 amateur lucid dreamers..it can help in motivation & i just love to know this kinds of stuffs..& sorry 4 asking so many Q/A in 1 thread.....PLEASE HELP..THANKS ALL. :D:D:D

Well for me these have never really applied to me, for instance when I have a DILD it's possible to mistake it for real life. So if by the logic there I can mistake a dream as real life but it's only a six. Although, I have heard that you can go beyond the vividness of real life, which I think has happened to me in a non-lucid dream in which case I suppose I would classify that as a ten. But my idea of vividness is based off of how clear the dream is, how well can I recall it? How well was my vision while in the dream? Was it foggy? Also, I go based off of realism, for instance this morning I was flying in a lucid dream and I could feel the wind on my face while flying. For me that made it more real and therefore more vivid. And one last thing, I heard that the more lucid you are in the dream, or more aware, the higher the vividness could go so I believe that you could raise the vividness of a dream from when it begins to where it ends. This is just what I think though..

That scale you posted is bogus. There are many factors here at work which influence vividness. But to answer your question, how vivid/realistic can LDs be, I ask you "how vivid/realistic can waking life be?"

And there is your answer.

I think those awareness:method statistics are ridiculous, people lucid dream in different ways. On some days lucid dreams can be really vivid and almost too-memorable, on others they can be so fuzzy and unclear that I only remember snippets, implying that methods give you different varying states of awareness in dreams is bogus.

Thanks krarom.Hmnn wow so i can really go beyond the vividness of real life,thats cool

Hey all those who didnt like dat scale...dat scale is not made my me.......it is of dreamviews.its in the tutorial-The Beginner's Guide to Lucid Dreaming..I know dat there r many factors which affects the vividness of dream..but just think logically,how can d scale b completely useless..what harm is in it to rate it,,dat way u can keep track of ur progress,,,i mean see,everything which we do for d 1st time looks difficult,more enjoyable/intimidating etc...i mean if ur eating KFC for the 1st time,it will taste gr8 but if u eat it daily it will taste like a normal meal,nothing special,,So if someone LD's for the 1st time,he may feel its overwhelmingly real & suppose rates it as 10,which advanced LDers rates 6. Now even though if he dreams his next dream with the same vividity..he will feel it a less vivid cause he is getting used to it..Now suddenly if he have a dream more vivider than before & he may think omg! i thought dat 1 was real,then this 1 may be super real...& rate d previous dream 7 & the new dream 10....Then he may have many dreams ,& rates it in between 8-9...So actually the 1st dream he had,is now the least vivid to him now...so rating lets u know systematically how far u've progressed..Well that is my theory though..the rest is up to u..but just give it a thought!!!!!! :D
