Other times, I will be aware of the finer nonsense-details from the start of the dream (this seems to infer that my "logic center" remained active). I prepare for these dreams beforehand (WBTB/WILD). Both types of lucidity can attain the same quality once you get into good practice.
No to mention, sometimes you get those lucids where you realize it is a dream and that the text on the billboard is unreadable, but you don't even realize that there's no such thing as a doomsday billboard! If it was a matter of flipping a switch, surely such a thing would not happen. So on top of everything you've said, you've even got to account for the fact that it isn't a 0 or 1, + or -, black or white phenomenon!

Ahhhh brains are so cool!
