Lucid dreams are generally far more intense and vivid than most non-lucid dreams.

Stephen LaBerge of The Lucidity Institute used a special machine to track eye movements during a dream (these are linked to your eye movements within the dream). Lucid dreams have been scientifically proven to exist. Further developments in psychological research have pointed to ways in which this form of dreaming may be utilised as a form of sleep therapy. Many different theories have emerged as a result of scientific research on the subject and have even been shown in pop culture. Prominent figures from ancient to modern times have been fascinated by lucid dreams and have sought ways to better understand their causes and purpose. Lucid dreaming has been studied and reported for many years. During a lucid dream, the dreamer may gain some amount of control over the dream characters, narrative, and environment however, this is not actually necessary for a dream to be described as lucid. A lucid dream is a dream during which the dreamer is aware that they are dreaming.
