The best dreams, with the most enjoyable events and also the most impact on your body when you wake up, are not dreams where you feel in control of everything that happens, they are dreams where you have a high degree of clarity while being a spectator of the dream, you don't undergo the dream either, you just flow

@random what does "you just flow" mean

you can feel the events happening and your will are aligned, you don't feel a high degree of control

@random but in a lucid dream you have the ability to access the subconscious. I have found that incredibly impactful personally.
One time I asked to speak to my subconscious, and I asked it what was holding me back. It replied fear. I pondered this for a while because I didn’t feel particularly fearful, and then I googled the hormone responsible for fear. I got cortisol as a search result. This led me to Ray Peat’s work and literally changed my entire life.
I’d call that impactful, YMMV…

Lucid you mean being aware that you are dreaming, or a high degree of control?

@random both

@random If you become aware that it's a dream, you gain control of it, That's lucidity. A real lucid dream is not just "a vivid dream", it's literally like the movie Inception where you are god in the dream world and you can make anything happen that you think of. Your mind moulds the dream world. Flying, making things appear and disappear, transforming the whole world around you.
It can take quite a bit of practice to not lose lucidity or wake up, because once you realize you're in a dream it can excite you and cause you to slip out.

You Can be aware you are dreaming with out having a high degree of control

In my experience it's unlikely or impossible to be aware you're dreaming and not have control. Yes there are varying degrees of control though. I find I usually have great control of the dream unless I am slipping out of lucidity after becoming too excited, or after an extended period of having a lucid dream. Then it can start to morph into a regular dream state.
