      This isn't applicable only to LD but dreaming in general. Having read some of the lucid and non-lucid dreams on this forum, I must say that people have some really wild imaginations. What I don't understand is that I know lots of people who couldn't come up with a creative thought if they spent a year in a Tibetan monastary, yet they have dreams in which all kinds of complicated things are experienced with unpredictable plots, not to mention bizarre images and locations.

      If dreams are created by the subconscious, doesn't that mean that the creativity is there when awake also, but just not tapped into. Why is it that such people cannot sit down and write even a marginally interesting story, but have wild dreams. Is there a way to tap into this creativity in waking life. I already keep a dream journal, but it would be nice to have that creativity but in a waking state so that I can have rationility too. How about this: has anyone ever written a book while Lucid Dreaming (not a whole book at once, but one page a night or something.) I had a dream in which I composed a theme song to a movie and when I woke up I was still able to remember enough of it that I got part of it transcribed before the rest slipped away.

      Also, is there a way to LD for increased memory recall. I especially would like to be able to remember former dreams (like the rest of that compoition)

      I use my creativity from my lucid dreams into paintings. My guess is that they either don't mention that it was inspired by their dream or that they didn't remember their dream or that they weren't enough for them to use?

      Anyways, I'm saying that not a lot of people are open minded on that so they might have surpressed that by fearing of being insane.

      All I know is that Albert Eliset (argh, I forgot how to spell his last name) used his dreams intensely as his inspiration. I have heard other famous people using dreams as their inspirations, but I cannot recall who right now though.

      You could try to repeat your LD in your head while you are in it so when you wake up, it was like you repeated it in real life in order to remember it. I did that before and it gave me a significantly improved recall.

      Just two cents.
      even

      Don't trust what you are seeing right now because you might be dreaming right now. Be LUCID! I repeat, be LUCID!

      Salvador dali is a famous artist who made his dream into art (well inspirational wise) and many other artist do. Imagination is where we can control all of it but dreaming, well we can control it which takes time (to some of us), it is more wild if you get what i mean. Imagination is the thing what only we, being in the conscious state, can make but a subconscious is different. I mean think about it do we acturly control the subconscious, i mean if we did then, well thats just wired because then we would need another subconscious to keep us in track. If we fully knew what was going on in the subconscious then we would be perfact in the way we needed to be (not to sure about that).
      Well the subconscious and the conscious are a bit different but they are both apart of us so we can be human.
      People who have no imaganition just need to read more, watch more tv, films and listen to music, thats how we become human beings (just read terry prachett's hog father or watch it that explains more about imagination and why it makes us human).
      Im not afraid of the dark, its whats in it.
      *the lights turn off and the whole room goes dark*
      Oh im fin- Ahhhhhhhh its a scary figment of my imagination.
