Actually, quite interesting question, @_Barry
I like what Steve wrote down:

From a Geluk-perspective - as I understood it - the mind (sem) needs to be developed and trained to actually become practically this portal.

I guess it is the question which discussion one is referring to, depending on if one is either refering to the innate potential of the mind to be that portal (which is there already and can not / need not be developed, since it is primordially pure (rigpa-perspective)) or if one is discussing the pracitical ability of the mind to access the portal (sem -perspective) or substrate-consciousness in the dream), which can be developed in terms of clarity and stability.

So, depending on what you mean by “awareness” it could have a role - or not.
