but it does explain DCs and why they react the way they do when you become lucid. Hm... Research is needed. still it's interesting to think this way!

I think you misunderstand me. I am not saying this is what Lucid Dreaming is or is the reality of Lucid Dreaming. I am saying this is a situation and a phenomenon that occurs sometimes.

Lucid Dreaming is being fully and consciously aware in a dream the same way you are during waking life. The issue the poster is having is, it seems to me, is that he is saying or coming to the realization that he is dreaming, without getting that consciousness or awareness. That said, his DREAM self is aware, but not HIS mind, which is the conflict of the ego and the id.
