Er.. “power”? ”Harnessed”? I do not understand your use of those words. How do you “harness” a dream and use it to “power” a change? Are you thinking that lucid dreaming might alter one’s brain? Change one’s real-world behaviour? Because on the face of it, I’m not seeing any way that a dream can directly change anything in the real world. Strange use of the words, IMO.

Does playing a video game change anything in the real world? I think in terms of an entertainment paradigm it could be pretty powerful.

I think you're reading too much into my comment. I'm talking about harnessing it for entertainment (or if you're more subversive, subjugation) purposes, ie for fun for many individuals, or like in Inception, as a drug of the masses. It's a phenomenon that can be used for many purposes, good and bad, and one that is yet to be tapped because we don't really have the technology to do it yet.
