please the whole lucid confuses me

thankyou for the ones who have answered my questions. I want to know just exactly what separates a lucid from a normal. Is a lucid when your experiencing everything through your eyes or when you can control it and when you try to wild do you just slip into a dream and know your dreaming? I mean if you wild and slip into a dream consciously won't you automatically know your dreaming. If your conscious and slip into a dream won't you obviously know your dreaming?

A lucid dream is a dream where you know that you are dreaming. This doesn't necessarily come with control, or seeing it through your own eyes, it simply means the knowledge that you are dreaming.

With a WILD, you start the dream knowing that you're dreaming. With other kinds of lucid dreams, you gain the knowledge some time during the dream. :)
