So what you are saying is that once I've crosses over into a deep delta state with consciousness, that it's all technically lucid dreaming with different types of content. I guess that explanation works.

However, I've always thought of enlightenment as perpetual or sustained "super consciousness" during waking life. I have experienced super consciousness, during Kundalini yoga and sometimes when I'm in the creative mode, but have never been able to sustain it indefinitely.
