If you say so -- I wasn't there.

You say "memory of a dream" -- well, once you wake up, aren't all your dreams just memories, lucid or not? Just like whatever you did yesterday is now just a memory.

It is hard for me to imagine doing RCs in a dream without being aware I'm dreaming -- I mean, the act of doing a reality check is basically the same as asking the question, "Am I dreaming?" Did you not come up with an answer? You said "doing RCs and making things", which to me implies that you checked reality, realized you were dreaming, and took control of the dream. If you meant something else, please tell me.

I know I'm probably being dense on this subject, because it has come up several times from a number of different people, and most seem to understand the concept except me -- I just can't get my mind around it somehow. I'm not trying to be obstinate, really.
