Does it depend on your lucidity level or something?
I sometimes have random LDs where everything looks extremely beautiful, but most of my LDs have very crappy special effects.For example i'm trying to use super powers.I begin charging an energy ball which should look like something from Dragon Ball.Though , the ball becomes a giant ,muddy snowball.. all the other attempts turn out the same..
Normal dreams usually have spectacular places , though my LDs suck badly :/..
