Hey lowercase... I agree with all your points except for 2 little things...

1) Your subconscious is partly in control of your everyday waking life - why not the conscious a little of dreams. I agree that they are constantly fighting for control in LD's - I've noticed that distinctly...

2) They have proven by experimentation that LDers actually control their dreams while dreaming - not reconstructing after waking. How did they figure this out? They found some lucid dreamers, then told them to move their eyes in particular ways in response to light. Remember in REM sleep we still have control of our eyeballs. Obviously the LDers learned how to control their eyes while dreaming first. They passed with flying colours apparently. Moving their eyes wherever the researchers wanted.

My opinions... use it .. dont... they're all like a*holes anyway. everyone has one and they all stink somewhat.
