I suppose that could happen, if the degree of lucidity is low at the asking of the question.

But - might that not be used to generate a pre-planned non-lucid dream? This could also be desirable. This would probably work best, if the plan doesn't involve a lot of thoughtful action on the part of the dreamer.

As a matter of fact, it seems to me (but I'm guessing here, since my experience is still rather limited), that a plan involving several distinct actions of thought, and choice, would be difficult to carry out non-lucidly, and therefore that this type of plan would promote lucidity, once it was "read back" to the dreamer.
