Are lucid dreams as deep as normal dreams?
I mean, in normal dreams you don't know if you're dreaming or not, everything is real and you enjoy/suffer it accordingly.
However, in a lucid dream you know that you're dreaming, so theoretically nothing should feel real and most things shouldn't be as deep, for example, if your lucid dream is about some sort of imaginative game, Game of Ender style maybe :D then there shouldn't be any difference...
...but if were speaking of a beautiful dream, one where, for example, you went to some sort of fantastic and astonishingly beautiful world e.g
dreamviews.com/f60/semi-lucid-astonishingly-beautiful-inception-style-dream-139424/
or where you had a close friendship with someone or falled in love or whatever of that style, then you'll always know that you're dreaming and everything shouldn't feel as good.
Though, you don't know what you have until you lose it, so:
Either a lucid dream is more shallow because you know you're dreaming...
...or because you know you're dreaming you know that's not going to last forever and you enjoy every moment of it.
So, all you that have had lucid dreams, please tell me which of the two possibilities is true, I just can't decide, though I can safely say that my dream was the best thing that I ever experienced in life, I can't say if it was because I knew that I was dreaming or because I didn't!
Thanks for your attention! :)
