We now understand that matter can exhibit both wave and particle properties. And that measurement or observation of matter causes a ‘wave-function collapse’, resulting in an actual sharply well-defined outcome. Some speculate that the reason why observation causes the wave function collapse is because a feature of observation is ‘conscious awareness’. Perhaps then, the dream exists in wave form until we consciously observe it, through lucid dreaming. And then the lucid dream, unlike an ordinary dream, becomes a definite outcome rather similar to physical reality. This might mean that the lucid dream is actually as ‘real’ as the waking world.
