I disagree that we are always lucid while dreaming in either of those two definitions. If you want my opinion on lucidity and what it may mean, I believe that there are two dreaming states which define the typical non-lucid and lucid mindset. The first, non-lucid, is a sort of 'go-with-the-flow- attitude where your stray thoughts control both the environment and yourself. So you aren't neccessarily rational. The second mind-set is more of a conciouss one, where your thoughts at the very least aren't being controlled by the dream.
But that's just me.
as the moderator bump this post from Attaining Lucidity
I think we all agree that my incorrectness is not relevant here

The moving of your thread wasn't intended as an insult, I'm sure. People, especially new users, are often unaware where their thread should be for them to get the best feedback as well as what the content fits best in. Moving it to beyond dreaming is not a way to show you how much we disagree that it's valid.
