I am struggling to attain lucidity, main reason being that I don't try too hard. Regardless, I have been lucid quite a few times. Most recently last night, where in my dream I was trapped in some sort of building from a locked gate and when I realised that I was dreaming I willed myself to 'magically' unlock it and run away, but failed and lost lucidity.

Through trying to attain lucidity, I have reasoned that by doing so it is also a way to train the mind of control and discipline. But not just in dreaming but also in our waking life. I am unable to prove or disprove this theory as, stated before, I am struggling to attain lucidity. So, I want to ask my fellow more experienced oneironauts, has the ability to lucid dream trained your mind, and if you have felt any effects it has caused? Such as your outlook on life or more control over real life situations or any other things?
