From Shocking experience - Dreams too real?

You can be in a dream that has such real content that it is very difficult to determine if you are dreaming.
If you can determine if you are dreaming then you are engaging in a lucid dream. But I agree with you that if you never know, then you were never actually lucid.

What is scary is if you become lucid and the dream scene remains stable and you can't seem to UN control things. (A turn around from the norm) It does sound asinine and I have argued with many about this. I believe because they have never experience it, that they will never understand. But what ever...

In retrospect, if this occurs ever again, I am going to use this tool as a learning mechanism.
Such a stable environment I will administer something "left brain" oriented. Chess, golf, guitar, math ...Something. Bring it on mind. It's all me!
