When you are sitting there doing nothing, you are with you. No distractions. No escapes. Just you and the present moment... the only moment that really exists, as the future and past are both ideas which exist only in the mind. Until you are happy with just you, suffering exists. This same suffering is what saps you of your personal power. The same power needed for dreaming consciousness... for lucid dreams. Why not give it a shot? Thirty minutes a night is a small sacrifice for lucidity.
