This may be a joke, but counting your fingers to lucid dream has been a thing for a lot longer than diffusion models.

That being said, your reality will influence your dreams if you're exposed to some things enough. I used to play minecraft on a really bad PC back in the day, and in my lucid dreams I used to encounter the same slow chunk loading as I saw in the game.

Playing Population One in VR did this to me. Whenever I hopped into a new game, I'd ask the other participants if they'd had particularly vivid dreams since getting VR, and more than half of folks said they had.
