I supposed that you knew the book to which you made a reference - passing or otherwise. I understand though that you will never sink so low as to answer my point with your own words. But how could I hope you would ? If enlightenment as defined by Kant is essentially using one's brain instead of others' , then your calling my doubts "dogmatic slumber" is also consistent with your methodology which is hardly that of Enlightenment.
