What Aaron's dreams lacked in lucidity they compensated for with vividity.
No matter how vivid, Aaron could always tell when he was dreaming. In his dream, Aaron would have his camera ready to take a spectacular picture. One time, he had in his viewfinder THE picture of Bette Davis firing from the texas book depository. Betty, dressed all Baby Jane, was ready to fire the first of the shots that would be blamed on the patsy Oswald, who cluelessly was eating a tuna sandwich in the next room.
Aaron was standing ten feet away, wondering how he got there and realizing that this picture would make him world famous and his life would never be the same and neither would the mythology of America. He pressed down the shutter button on his camera and the button went all the way down without the click. The clicklessness indicated that the picture had not been taken. Werner fired once. Aaron, still unnoticed, clicked again but once again the click went clickless.
The clickless click had happened many, many times before.
Whenever, the clickless click happened, Aaron realized that he was sleeping and this was a dream.
In a lucid dream, the dreamer realizes that he is dreaming and starts to engineer the dream according to the technology of his psychic and subconscious expereince. The lucid dreamer takes the dream where he wants the dream to go not where the fream wants him to go. The lucid dreamer surfs the magic of his own technicolor velvet and loves the ride.
Aaron could always recognize a dream but had no interest in staying with what he considered an imposter. A dream is just a dream, a re-discovered country minus actual slings and arrows. Intuitionists are guided by their dreams.
Aaron was guided by his doubts.
In his dreams, he never got the picture.
When awake, he almost always got the picture before everybody else.
When Aaron recognized a dream, he did what most sensualists do either literally or figuratively.
He got up from his bed, walked in the darkness to the bathroom and urinated.

aye, we pee, and think what
aye, we pee, and think what did we dream and what did it tell us? I wonder about lucid dreams, but I wonder about non-lucid dreams too.
