““If the dreamer is fortunate enough to have a lucid dream, that is, to take a semblance of consciousness or self-awareness into this realm, he or she is often lucky to escape with his or her life, or so it feels. The advanced lucid dreamer learns the laws of this realm and is sometimes able to change an outcome through sheer force of will. But this is rare, and if one does this all the time, then it is no longer a dream, but rather a delusion. The whole point is that the conscious self does not control this mechanism. Yet, on the other hand, the process of lucid dreaming may indeed be the ultimate doorway to a place where the higher entities dwell, the ultimate realm of inner space.””
