(boss in the room!) . . . but what's the difference between an extremely memorable dream with vivid detail (have had a lot of those) and lucid dreaming? Is it that you are aware that you are dreaming? Or is it that you are actually consciously influencing the dream?
It's both. You're both aware and able to do anything you want. It's practically like your very own virtual reality. That's not to say you can't simply be aware of it and let it take you wherever it does without interfering, because you can, and a lot of people choose to do that as well at times. But if you could fulfill any possible fantasy and desire you have, or do whatever your mind can think of, wouldn't you take the opportunity to do so?
