I realize now, though, that it is actually relatively easy to become lucid in the dream state. I say "relatively" because the real trick is becoming lucid here in this waking state dream. In the dream state all is pretty obviously illusory, even though we definitely have to break through the reification. But we are there in an "illusory body". Once we realize that.....it's game on in the dream state!
But now after establishing that unbroken continuity of consciousness between states, and having been given very real glimpses into the illusory nature of the waking state.....I am truly waking up. :nodyes:
