Becoming lucid is only a secondary concern for me, at best, where I often don't even care if I am really lucid or not. The events that occur are what are important to me.

If people only recognized the subversive, adaptive, free-flowing nature of the late dreamscape processes, they'd realize how easy it is to shoot themselves in the foot with their own intent and frustration. Mental conditioning, discipline, high motivation, sleeping longer than 9 hours per day (more sleep = more REM cycles), resting in the correct position, and having the right diet can greatly improve LD consistency. Shallow self-assertion isn't enough, IMO.
