My question is more or less about dream control, or rather if it's /required/ or something you can't take away from a lucid dream without destroying the ability to be aware.

I'm trying to figure out if there can be a level of "unexpectancy" or even a degree of realism that can be more... I don't know "hard coded" into the brain. As well as a sense of realism that can be broken as well. Both without any real need to think about it unless I wanted to change the rules persay.

Also I wanted to know if lucid dreaming can also, if used right help with developing problem solving skills within the dream.
