Suppose a near-future technological development allows users to engage in lucid dreaming on demand. Suppose, further, that it gives the user perfect dream recall (or "significantly-above-average", if we take "perfect" to be meaningless in this context), such that the recollection of dreams had under the influence of the device is both vivid and extensive. Would you regard this technology as the realization of full dive virtual reality?

VR = computer-simulated world, so nah

Argument for No: VR can show you someone else's creative vision, possibly of things you would/could not conceive of even in a dream.

@CamillePerrin Entirely reasonable, though it's possible that this objection will be shored up to some extent by other technological advances that may very plausibly be realized before on-demand lucid dreaming, such as thought-to-video.
