What is the difference between the art of dreaming and lucid dreams?

The art of dreaming (control over your dream-state) takes practice in visualizing something that is calming and soothing to that particular individual. It could be walking or running through a meadow of flowers with blue sky and white clouds and hearing birds singing everywhere .. it's peaceful. Another person may visualize flying and soaring through the air like a bird and feeling free. If one concentrates on scenes such as this then they can actually dream about it.
Vivid dreams (uncontrolled) are dreams that are so vivid they seem real and you may even question yourself as to whether it happened or not. They even may have dreamt someone close to them made a statement in a wakening state that they did not. These dreams are remembered within seconds of waking. Time is like space and what seems like a long dream can merely be seconds.
Scientists are still studying the brain and dreams and as far as the public is informed are no closer to what makes the brain do this. We do know why. Without dreaming we would go insane. Everyone has a stressful life and dreaming (whether it be calm, sexual to nightmares) releases a lot of pent-up emotions we have.
The "art of dreaming" is nicely described above, with more information on the Discussion page for this question. LUCID DREAMING differs in that the dreamer attempts to become aware that he/she is dreaming while the dream is in process. Once that awareness is achieved, some individuals are able to consciously control the direction and outcome of the dream, as well as being able to wake up whenever one chooses to do so.
... Lucid dreaming can be used under the guidance of a therapist or counselor as a means of controlling and eliminating nightmares and night terrors. Unfortunately, a lot of misleading information has been circulating about lucid dreaming, leading to the misuse of the practice as a recreational activity. The danger is that one can prevent the subconscious mind from producing natural dreams, which are very necessary for mental and physical health.
