It's practically like your very own virtual reality. That's not to say you can't simply be aware of it and let it take you wherever it does without interfering, because you can, and a lot of people choose to do that as well at times. But if you could fulfill any possible fantasy and desire you have, or do whatever your mind can think of, wouldn't you take the opportunity to do so?
Hmm. Maybe. But then I would want to sleep as much as I can, because my dream life was better than my real life. This might be a very bad thing for someone who has battled depression. I think I'll just appreciate the really vivid dreams and keep my dream journal.
That's strange. What do you mean you would want to sleep as much as you can? Keep in mind that you can only dream during certain periods of sleep. Normally, a lucid dreamer just has to sleep at least 8 hours a night, but that doesn't mean sleeping too much will get you more lucid dreams. I don't think it works like that.
Let me further clarify that statement. All you have to do to be a lucid dreamer is take a few minutes out of your day to perform certain techniques, and have a healthy sleep schedule. Nothing more and nothing less. I don't know if you knew, but sleeping too much is not exactly healthy either, and I don't think it's conducive to lucid dreaming, for that matter.
