Awoken, in this forum, Omega IS an authority figure and does have power, so respect that.
BTW, this talk is highly inaccurate. Despite the metaphorical references in the Matrix to dreaming, the Matrix is NOT a dream and the rebels are not lucid. It is conceptually entirely different. To quote from the Matrix web site:
"...there are important disanalogies between Matrix-experience and dream-experience. First, in a dream, there is only your own mind involved. The Matrix must be, at a minimum, a group dream. I am arguing above that the fact that one mind is really interacting with other minds is critical to assessing the value of the Matrix reality. This complicates the apparently clear idea of controlling one's dream, since it is not simply one mind at work that can "alter" the images one is conscious of. I am not sure of the coherence of the hypothesis here. For example, when the young boy bends the spoon, Neo "sees" this. So the boy's control of his environment is perceivable both by the boy's mind and by Neo's. So he must be changing something that is, "in reality", in Neo's mind – namely, Neo's image of the spoon. But what if Neo straightens the spoon at the same time the boy bends it? Whose lucid dream will win out, and be perceived by the other minds? The one with the stronger will? Second, the "images" that are in your mind in the Matrix can, and regularly do, really kill people; that is, kill their bodies outside of the Matrix. Except in some bad horror movies, dream images cannot really kill you, or make you bleed. The difficulty of understanding how something which is a mere "image" is supposed to have this sort of effect seems therefore to cause some problems for calling the state of ordinary people in the Matrix "dreaming"."
Lucid dreaming is about altering experiences in your own mind- NOT about altering the perceptions of others. Remember, the Matrix may not be physical, but it IS real. In dreams you only deal with images- or more to the point, your own perceptions of images. The Matrix is far more than that. You are not affecting minds, you are affecting independant objects and things- virtual objects and things, but objects and things nonetheless- that everyone else observes independantly; lucid dreaming only deals with what you yourself feel and see.
