Lex awoke in the dream

 

Put more correctly, she became perfectly aware while still asleep - much like a lucid dream.

 

She'd only had one or two of those before, yet she knew something was profoundly different this time. she'd never been this aware that she was dreaming. the world around her lacked definition - not that it was a blank white canvas, just undefined.
