A lucid dream is a different reality, created by your subconscious, or by the collective unconscious.
Material reality (also thought of as objective reality) is what you see in the material world.
When you dream you are in a subjective environment, created by mind. It can be the collective mind, and it can be given shape by the individual mind.
When you become lucid (and in this instance, lucidity is simply knowing you're dreaming, clarity is irrelevant) you can perceive beyond your self creations and see what the collective mind has created. It cannot be the same as material reality, because imagination is creative and equally represented, but there is usually a correlation between experience and imagination.
Does that make it any clearer?
