      Solipsism;

      Is lucid dreaming a type of solipsism, except just with 'God mode' enabled?
      The question is What is the question?
      Thanks, Jeff777, for adopting me.

      Lucid dreaming is a state of mind attainable while sleeping. Solipsism is a philosophical position.

      I guess you might say dreaming is a solipsistic state, as when you are dreaming you are the only conscious being in the world you're inhabiting.

      I guess lucid dreaming is a limited solipsism. As the above person said.

      But solipsism as philosophical position is all-encompassing, and there'd be no waking up from it.

      yup, but then you might as well label real life as a case of solipsism, w/o god-mode enabled.

      What did I create first: the existence of rules to existence, or existence?
