I think it would be too small to notice. But their main effect is on the mood of the dream, not on the content.

Lucidity trumps any effects the sleep stages can have on your dreams. Non REM dreams tend to be more mellow, whereas REM dreams are where the action happens. But that's just generally speaking, it's not an absolute rule. You can still have an awesome lucid battle even in a non-rem dream.

I suspect the various stages of sleep would conform to your lucid dream. So if you start an epic battle in a non-REM dream, then you would quickly enter a REM cycle. But that's just my opinion, I have no way to prove it.
