So recently I've been reading a lot about Lucid Dreaming on this site and the internet. I was just wondering, what exactly DOES a lucid dream feel like? How real is it? Usually in dreams, everything is a bit fuzzy and disorienting, so when you fall into a lucid dream, is it the same thing or is it more sharp and clear? Like, can you hold up your hands and actually see them and be aware that they're there?

On a side note...I must have read too much about lucid dreaming yesterday, cause last night I had this weird dream about lucid dreaming. I was telling myself, "I wonder if lucid dreamers see themselves in third person?" My dream self must be super random. 0_o

Oh and lastly, what technique would you suggest beginners to use?
