You ever have a crazy intense epic dream and come up with this awesome new idea that you think will change the world, and after a minute or two of being awake and coming to your senses, you realize how utterly idiotic you sound? There's going to be a lot of that.

    When I was twelve, I woke up convinced that the color yellow was called yellow, because humans had figured out that word was intrinsically linked to that color.

    I was devastated my "epiphany" stopped making sense after I fully woke up.

    Have you ever had a dream that you, you had, your, you could, you’ll do, you wants, you could do so, you’ll do, you could, you want, you want him to do you so much you could do anything?

    Probably. I have been able to lucid dream since I was a kid, if we're talking about knowing you are dreaming and controlling aspects of the dream.

    It's still just your own brain, and if you're controlling it you're actually being less outside-the-box creative than in the dreams where you're not.

    If you're so in control you're able to force it to do work tasks then what's going to be generated will probably be lower quality than waking tasks, not higher.
