I'm trying to get back into lucid dreaming because I know how interesting it can be, but I want to do more than just get started again. I'm a filmmaker and I would love to create a short film sharing the idea of Lucid Dreaming. It still seems like a relatively unknown thing, which saddens me. Hopefully this can be something to show those people so they get a better understanding of what it can be like.
I haven't really put a whole lot of thought on the plot as of right now but it's not as important as the lucid dream(s) itself...I'll need some help. I'm a few years out of practice but I do have some vague memories of the amazing things I've done and seen in the past. I was wondering if anyone had some interesting moments or ideas that they might like to see in the film, or just anything to help me figure out how to best show what it's like.
As for the plot, I would love to hear if anyone has some personal stories of why you lucid dream (Besides fun), how you found out about it, or how it has helped you in any way. Post only if you don't mind sharing, of course.
Also, I can add CGI effects as long as they fall within my limited self taught skill set: Destroying things, CG smoke and fire, and (Just started/Still learning) photo-real architectural visualizations (For backgrounds...or possibly floating furniture? ). I doubt the film will run over 10 minutes, if that, so don't hold back!
Above anything, I want to make sure I accurately and realistically portray what a lucid dream is like (With some creative merit), regardless of what it ends up being about. I know it'll be challenging, but I think I can pull it off with everyone's input.
And finally, I apologize if this is in the wrong section. It's kind of a weird topic. 
tl;dr
Making a lucid dream short film: Ideas?
Thanks!
