Ok first of all in dreams you are usuly conscious to some extent, if you arn't conscious you wouldn't beable to think, people strangely assume that lucid dreams means conscious, infact it's just the awarness of the fact that one is dreaming, the word lucid is usualy implied with high levels of conscious awarness though, the two go together, but dreams arn't unconscious, I know it's a very diffrent way of thinking but yeah, we think in are dreams and thinking is a conscious act, even if you say we think unconsciously, can't you recall a time in a dream were you made very clear dicioutions?

Next is obssession, now thats not the word I would use, you'd better beleive as soon as I start having lucid dreams on command and learning to control 100% I'll be obssessed, it's more of the fact that you start paying less attention to real life thats the problem.
