I was going to say just that, about how it made me realize how subjective life is. It opened me up to a new level of consciousness and perception. I also feel more comfortable with death. Not that I'm looking to die, but I know that there is more to this universe than the physical waking realm.
Being able to recall a vivid dream, whether lucid or not, makes me feel happier and more enthusiastic during the day. Finally, being able to achieve lucidity at will is a skill that I have been developing for some time, and am continuing to develop. This makes me realize that when I put my mind to something, I can accomplish it, thus creating my own reality.
