The point of the post is that dreams can teach us new things about ourselves especially lucent ones. Case in point....

You have no idea what it is like to be a flower.
You dream you are a flower.
You know know what it is like to be a flower.

You never had this knowledge until you had the dream.

Counterpoint:

You can't know what it's like to be a flower. Even if you dream it, the imagery of your dreams is a melange of memories and knowledge. If you dream you are a flower, your experience would be based solely upon whatever preconceptions you already have about it, and needless to say, different people would describe a vastly different experience.

Lucid dreaming is little more than your imagination working semi-independently of your conscious mind.
