Sometimes I consider the post dream analysis to be part of the whole experience, and if I was not lucid then no I cannot really have been guilty, though I will feel guilty of course (grew up Roman Catholic), but my more rational part of me realizes that if the dream was not lucid then I could not help it. However, in that case I consider that the ethics comes in during the analysis: if I had an unethical dream, and do not feel uneasy about it after the fact, then that's an issue. (So if i am content but should not be that is worse then if i am uneasy but should not be.) So those kinds of dreams are a test of my ethics, and I self-evaluate my own reaction to them to see whether my moral values are as I think they ought to be, and whether I approve of my own initial reaction to the dream I recalled, or whether I think that I am too blasé about it. I am the kind of person who questions myself, and then questions my questioning, and then reprimands myself for questioning myself too much, and don't be ridiculous Joanna that was just a dream!
