(First off, I'm new so if there is an obvious answer to my question, I honestly wasn't aware of it.)

My question is, when you talk in a lucid dream, are you actually talking out loud (in bed or wherever) or is it just your subconscious voice? I know in normal dreams you can be perfectly quiet but if you're actually conscious does that make a difference?

Sorry if it sounds stupid, but I really don't know.
