Hi Stefan! Thanks for doing this AMA, this subject is always so intriguing! Hopefully this question makes sense:
When remembering a normal dream, it seems like we're just 'along for the ride' and as such I don't feel like I had to... 'engage' in the dream.
When lucid dreaming (I've not had the luck yet - I'd love to learn though), I imagine you're deliberately thinking about what to do. So rather than just being along for the ride, you are actively engaging in your dream - if that's the case, are you getting a less restful sleep than someone who isn't lucid dreaming? Or am I thinking about it in completely the wrong way?
