eg.: let's say that in a dream I fly, I cast spells, I summon vehicles, I summon people, I create whole new worlds.

You'd assume that I am god right? And Can do anything?
But basically because it wasn't lucid, I did nothing more than that.
I'm not sure I understand your question. This guy apparently had total control, like a god, but he was not aware that he was dreaming and therefore he was not having a lucid dream. That's the point that is being made in this thread and OpheliaBlue gave a nice example. I've also had dreams where I was flying and thought I had finally done it in real life. (I want it really bad)

I’m with Seeker on the importance of lucidity vs. control. I see people have dreams where they become Power Rangers and kill zombies. This may show a lot of control but in my opinion it has as much value as playing a video game. I am just expressing my preference. Many people are doing Lucid Dreaming just for the fun; so control is important. I place more importance on the spiritual/self-discovery potential of Lucid Dreaming.
