I have been attempting to lucid dream for many months now. I feel like I am getting closer but haven't quite achieved lucidity.

Hopefully, with the intelligent people on this forum, I will get there soon...

I'm always interested to find out why others got into lucid dreaming and what they're trying to achieve out of it. I've found that lots of people like the feeling of control and self confidence they get from being able to do it and it has flowed over into their reality. This is what I'm hoping to achieve.

To generate my first discussion (I'm a newbie!) my question to you great folk is: why do you lucid dream? What benefits/abilities do you hope to achieve in everyday life by achieving lucidity?
