I'm interested in your definition of lucid in the contexts you describe here. I thought lucid meant just being aware that one is actually dreaming. That alone doesn't stop reification. Something else is happening in your "lucid" if reification is dissolving. Are you aware of whathttps://twitter.com/anyane/status/995774013770100737 …

By lucid dreamless sleep you mean you are aware that you are sleeping? Is this like a clear display experience or is it a "sleeping only" display experience or anything else you can say about it. This is, as I understand it, a very advanced state of awareness to say the least. :)
By lucid dreamless I mean there is a vivid awareness but no dream ‘display’. The awareness itself isn’t ‘advanced’, its advanced when someone can access that state consistently, understand the significance, and it leads to insight which reduces suffering and improves behaviour.

So a question here is: Do you have any sense of awareness of "other" with the other being a blankness perhaps (ie a sense of duality), or do you have the sense that your awareness is non-dual with the "non-displaying" as perhaps an "awareClear" sense of awareness?

Not sure wym by ‘awareClear’, but there isn’t a dualistic split. The duality in lucid dreams is a gateway though eg: meeting the gaze of a dream character, you see ‘their’ awareness and ‘your’ awareness is exact same. Recognition is the catalyst for dream appearance dissolving.

Does that answer your question Jim? I spoke to a teacher about this once and they replied something like ‘oh that’s nice.’ Haha. It sounds good, but I’m still a fool, so the lucid dreamless sleeping hasn’t done me a whole lot of good, yet

I see much significance in your experiencing in this venue. Physical embodiment is a venue for being displaying experiencing and it seems we tend to think of it as a great main stage. Your living experiencing in the venue of the intermediate state illuminates its potential for us

I note a significant difference in my sense of awareness between when I am reifying it together with face/eye feelings when just looking into the Clear (dualistic with Clear) and when I have immersed this reified awareness in Clear resulting in what I term aware-Clear (non-dual)
