Foo: Both is awesome ;) And you can't really compare the two.
Anyhow, a couple of days ago, I had my first prolonged state of lucidity. It was just plain awesome.
First, the dream was one of those normal weird dreams. At one point, I found myself going down a highway, riding a wheelchair. It was a quite steep decline, and I was getting scared. But then just thought "there are only a few cars, so let's just see what happens, could be fun after all." - This was more of a subconcious realization that I could take action. So I overcame my fear and just kept rolling.
As I went faster and faster, I came to realize that flying might be an easier way to go about it. At that point, I realized it was a dream, and the rest was easy. I lifted up in the air and flew. Superman style. Left the highway and flew through the city.
For some reason, I couldn't fly really high, so I conciously decided to try another way of flying. I sort of stood up in the air and started using some imaginary pedals with my hands. I could then pedal less or more to get the desired height, and the speed got even higher :)
Then the lucidity slipped a little, and the dream went it's usual weird ways, though I could decide now and then to have a closer look at certain things. The last sequence was me talking to a person I knew pretty well in my past, and it had a very high level of realism to it. I could even sense her body warmth and her scent. I could think about what to answer or talk about just as if I was awake.
When I woke up, I was both scared and fascinated, took me a while to fall asleep again.
This was so far the most lucid thing I have dreamt. The feeling of being able to control my flight was totally awesome :)
I hope it will happen to me again. It seems like I am getting the hang of it, since it seems I am getting used to the lucidity, so I won't wake up immediately after I realize I am lucid.
