This is many of the 'big questions'. What is consciousness? What is reality? What are our dreams? What is the configuration of the interface between consciousness and reality, and how can it best be leveraged to our benefit?

Much of dreaming appears to be putting useful things in their places, cleaning, and testing, and exercising other parts to keep things running smoothly. How conscious awareness can access or how it interacts with dreams, I don't know, see the previous questions. If you cannot re-member an occurrence, which you experienced, isn't that LOST consciousness? It is said that everything you experience is there, in your memory. Why don't we have complete recall when we are awake in the natural, physical world? 

I have done much lucid dreaming. It was never anything that I had to try for. It has simply been a state in which I have occasionally found myself. I don't know how many lucid dreams I can't remember, because I can't remember them. It is possible that all dreaming is lucid, but we don't remember that part most of the time.

The only time I'm overthinking it is when I am cycling through the same series of thoughts without resolution or understanding. I do trust that my physical and mental apparatus is going to find beneficial equilibrium if given the proper environment, fuel and maintenance. It's an unnecessary worry unless there is something that can be done about it.

I agree, not stressing it, just hadn't thought about before honestly.

I haven't thought seriously about this subject since the 90's. It's interesting to think it through again with so many years gone by.

What tools are you using to quantify the subject? What vocabulary are you using to create context? I try not to adhere too rigidly to any analytical system if it is not useful.

I'm of the belief that consciousness just is, it is here, there or wherever, as in it exists.
