Well anyway, here comes the theory. I think that some dreams it is just naturally easier to get lucid due to hightened awareness.
That is more than likely true. Lucidity in-and-of itself is just awareness. This is why practicing awareness while awake leads to practicing awareness while dreaming (we typically replay our actions) that becomes awareness (lucidity) of the dream. This is also one possible explanation or reason why certain Buddhists are such proficient lucid dreamers and have been doing it for so long throughout history.

* by awareness here, I mean being consciously aware of the present moment; being mindful of the present moment. It is an active awareness, not a passive or fleeting one.
