Here's a bit of irony for you, Unnu:

I have a sneaking suspicion that, if you were to develop a mindset that welcomes a LD every night, you will find yourself much more interested in exploring the potentials of lucidity and your imagination than you will be in augmenting waking-life tasks. As you come to understand and recognize those potentials, both during your dreams and during the waking-life practice necessary to achieve that kind of consistency, I think you might just find yourself far more interested in exploring those potentials -- by going places and doing things that challenge your imagination and strengthen your very soul -- than you will in, say, revising concepts for school, or perhaps honing your sporting skills.

Sure, lucidity is a nice tool for augmenting your waking-life skills, but I question whether it is really worthwhile to use LD's simply as a way to find more time to hone your waking-life skills... why not use that time instead to discover new skills or activities that cannot possibly exist in waking-life, and simply find more time during waking-life to work on the mundane stuff?
