for me personally, it is very intense and vivid. when i fly, it's a lot like being on a roller coaster, maybe even a little more intense than that (which is awesome btw)

if i focus on something in an LD it is as crisp as looking at something in waking life. i usually take my time and marvel at the scenery that i created, then fly.

when i was a kid my few LD's weren't as vivid, probably because i didn't think about it too much.

This is true, for me sometimes it seems even more real than real life...if that makes sense

It can vary. Depending on your level of lucidity etc, it can be blurry and fuzzy and not at all that realistic. (This can usually be cleared up however with a commands such as, "Clarity NOW!") But it can also be extremely realistic like real life. As Toledous stated, it can seem even MORE real than real life, almost like your senses are enhanced or something. It can be quite the extreme experiance, but as stated it varies.
