Consider you were conscious all the time... It would be kind of confusing to a lot of people. How would you distinguish reality from your dreams if they were exactly the same kind of experiences?[/b]
For me, being conscious (in a dream) means you know you are dreaming. In all our non-lucids we take the dream as reality, which is confusing....when you wake up. That's why I'm not sure I understand what you are saying...
