If we are just talking about senses, probably nothing. Although in dreams senses seem to be to quite low compared to waking life, or at times even higher then waking life. It quite rare to be in a dreamstate that feels the same as waking life, if u understand what i mean? (taking into account your not drunk or on drugs)

well if it was rare then it would be rare not to have a lucid dream, as you would always immidietly notice your dreaming. the reasone why its difficult to have LD is because you believe your dream is real life, and only when you notice its not you become lucid

I can't speak for everybody, but my non lucid dreams tend to feel strange. I always thought the reason why it's so hard to become lucid for most people, is because the logic part of your brain is shutdown. You just have a sense of going with the flow, but again i can't speak for everybody.

your right about the logic part of your brain bieng off, thats why you cant reason you accept what you see as reality and believe it is ur "real" life now regardless of how strange it feels, life can also feel strange at times cant it but you reason and find some sort of explination for it.its hard for me to use dream life and real life in the traditional way because im having difficulty believing that your dream is not real life.
