Dreams are really a sequence of symbols, metaphors, puns and other visual tricks. So if a dream becomes lucid doesn't that mean I am interacting with the symbols in my dream? That doesn't make any sense. How do I interact with just visual tricks of the waking world concepts and phenomenon? I don't think I can. I regularly find I the waking life I think and act like I am in waking life, but in a dream I think as I do in waking life and act as if I belong as a character to the dream. For example, in the dream if someone would call me by a different name say "Joy" the dream intends to communicate that the person thinks I am joyful, and I wonder why I am not called by my name, but I act independent of whatever I thought - in other words - I just play my part. That is funny. It is as if I am into a virtual reality where things happen independent of me - all by itself - yet everything happens "inside" me. All that I see is a brilliant animation written, directed and played by myself - yet I am unaware of it. I will be unaware of it because it is that part of me that is experiencing - not observing itself (or myself). The philosophy (or shall we say "truth") that whatever you see is part of God and you are the God is one hundred percent true for dreams. If that is dream then a lucid dream is just a very in depth visualization - not a dream at all in the perfect sense (I don't know whether there is something known as perfect sense - but let me assume you understand the term I use). Then lucidity is a wakeful state not a sleeping state at all, in the perfect sense, again.

Reminds me of Matrix.

I did a Google Search on the word Morpheus and it is a greek god known as the dreamer of dreams!

Incidentally(?) the word Neo lexigrams to One. Like Morpheus and Neo Searching for each other may be all dreamers are searching for The One in dreams. The next question is how Trinity figures in all these. The answers are interesting...

What messages are encoded in Matrix, any ideas?
