Yeah,. The Awareness thing is really key. There was a time when I was travelling in the dream state so much fully aware, that I lost any interest in travelling in the physical waking state. This is somewhat funny, because when my family asked me "how about travelling to this country or that country?", I was inclined to say "Oh, please not, I need a break from travelling!" . And this is very real, because we can get to that point where we are as awake in the dream as we are in the waking state! :)
