I think pursuit of self-improvement, understanding, and self-actualization/individuation is perhaps the greatest way of indirectly improving one's ability to lucid dream. Honestly, I think making progress on this front has greater potential to improve lucidity than directly practicing lucid dreaming can and often does.
This really resonates with me. But I'm also thinking that it can be turned around the other way as well......a greater degree of consciousness (lucidity) during our dream state can lead to more self-improvement, understanding and self-actualization along with enhanced spiritual enlightenment as a whole being.

I'm thinking that in the dream state we are immersed in an outpouring of....self....from our sub-conscious. The more conscious we can become in the presence of that outpouring, the more it will become part of the entire fabric of our being. It is this potential that has attracted me so strongly to lucid dreaming.

Thoughts on that?
