I found Jill's article, "The Cutting Edge," an important confirmation, i.e. that dream lucidity comes in many forms, and Vol. 6/No. 1: Interview With Ann Sayre Wiseman; that dream lucidity is of different kinds of awareness, and not "The Dream Self As Stand-Up Comedienne" by necessarily a controlled project that leads to a block-buster of a Mary Newman; "Dream Tarot: The Tiger Comes" dream.
