I like the way calling it a "waking dream" hints that, during a trip, the subconscious (whatever it is concretely) expands its connection with the conscious mind.
The fact that lucid dreaming is a way to explore your mind ("psychonaut" is a name that both psychedelic users and lucid dreamers use) is more evidence of that, for me.

- h1karu 12y agoon what basis do you base the assumption that the subconscious mind is something "concretely" ? Isn't it's non-concreteness kind of the point of calling it the subconscious ?
