heh, I also explained that they can have self-awareness as far as we know, of course I never make really long posts like you do but yeah. They lack sentience? That idea is being abandoned quickly, a lot of birds are thought to have the ability to use language as well as some mammals, they seem to be self-concious too. Also when did we say they have lucid dreams? In fact I said that they can't because its a human term and thus can't be applied to them.
