Default Emanuel Swedenborg - a LD dreamer?

I have heard that Emanuel Swedenborg was a lucid dreamer. Is that true?

As I understand it, most of his experiences involved "waking visions." However, it's hard to imagine that it didn't also involve some sort of lucid dream type of experience. In fact I just read in a couple of his "Memorable Relations" in the book The True Christian Religion, how he was meditating and speaking with a couple of angels, before being led off to some distant part of the spiritual world, and later returning back home. So I would say it's a definite yes here.
