A distinction is needed between; ordinary dreams where one knows they are dreaming; and lucid dreams. I suggest this edition. |
That doesn't make sense, an "ordinary dream where one knows one is dreaming" IS a lucid dream. You do NOT have to have the same level of awareness as when awake, or be able to control the dream, etc. |
