Thanks Dr. Dave and Machiel Klerk for this interview. Machiel explains the value of lucidity toward our connection to the unconscious, through dreams. It is apparent and useful in active imagination, for example, because we're awake. We're also awake during sleep, many times, and people should accept this concept.
Recall issues aside, one has memories from a dream because it was an experience first.
