Depends on how truly lucid you are, and since none of it can have any form of outside observer (at least at this stage of technology) we have to go with you can, and you cannot.

When proposing a binary question like that with which we have no answer, we go to Schrodinger's theory.

Lets just say

You can do science being aware that you're doing it or being unaware that you're doing it

The key is, are you pursuing knowledge or not

It's almost as if when you dream, at least to yourself because you know (pretty much at least when you wake up because thats then the "real" reality) you were dreaming, there's a Myriad of things to dream and within could change in an instant depending on whatever.

Myriad is not a noun

But u right there's other ppl to ask the question to

Yes it is lol

No, myriad is synonymous with "many"
You do not have "a" many of things. You have many things, as you have myriad things.

Myriad is meant to be used as "many and diverse"

Yes. Many things can be "many and diverse"

Sure, but myriad is an adjective to describe those things.

Can you show me "a myriad?"

Is it a noun that can be referenced on its own?

I would like to have a myriad.

Uhm, that definition shows an example

A myriad refers to the"manyness and diverseness" of all the such things

"a myriad"

Show me a myriad. No referencing noun, or anything.

lol

Just show me one single myriad.

You're not doing language right

This is not a science like math is

This _is_ language. A noun can involve an idea, for the things that cannot be observed.

But what idea is "a myriad?"

Language is alive, it doesn't follow formulas

Rules build around language, not the other way around

Yes, and websters literally defined literally to follow figuratively. If you don't allow for some prescriptive language, you just get confusion.

And you set precedents to destroy language altogether

But you do that post hoc

You don't just tell people how to talk, and then they talk like that, you let them talk and observe it and then write it down to show how it's being used

"A myriad" is a new thing. It previously was not considered a noun. Hell I've got a late 19th century dictionary that proved that.

That happens all the time with language

It was simply perverted, and now you can reference something as a noun without defining what that noun actually is

Because now it's a noun that requires another noun to define it.

Well so be it

It's literally an adjective pretending to be a noun
