Would like to introduce myself - I'm from South Africa. I've had a couple of lucid dreams including some amazing ones. I'm still learning (but then who isn't) as I cannot have a lucid dream consistently.

My interest in lucid dreaming has a couple of edges:

1) Being able to 'converse' with the deeper part of myself - my inner self, spirit guide, astral guide whatever you like to call it. I don't attribute it to anything particularly supernatural myself. But I do believe it has a vast amount of knowledge that I don't have on the surface of my conciousness.

2) I'd like to investigate the phenomenon of shared lucid dreams. If this turns out to be even partially possible it has great implications. It is in essence a form of telepathy.

3) The possibility of OOBE. I've had some strange sensations that may be related to the experience of going out of body.

3) General therapy. I can do virtually anything I want, to achieve anything I need.

4) Darn its an amazing feeling!

This isn't the only site I'm on, but we'll see which site is most helpful...
