I dunno about literal "messages" but there is definitely meaning in dreams.
The way your subconscious creates the dream environment can tell you alot about yourself. I dunno about many theories, it's just logical.

You ought to expand on what you're saying

It's awesome the first thousand or so times, then it just becomes another drug. Which is still awesome... it just loses its excitement, or something.

Everyone has probably said this but... yes. Lucidity really IS that good.

OK, everyone calmer now? I thought I'd step into the ring and put forth my two cents worth. BTW, some of the behavior in this thread has been noticed and discussed in the staff forum.

Dreams are such strange things. I'll let you in on a secret. NOBODY KNOWS EXACTLY WHY WE DREAM. That said, although we don't know all there is about it, we DO know a good many uses of dreams.

I've been studying sleep and dreams most of my 46 years on this earth, here are a few things I've learned:

Dreams DO carry messages from your subconcious.

Dreams help you sort out things you have learned and experiences you have had during the day.

Dreams are probably not messages from aliens.

You should not try to control all of your lucid dreams, instead, reserve at least half of them and just go with the flow. You can learn a lot more from your subconcious if you do so.

Lucid Dreaming is probably one of the most amazing things I have ever learned. It is a vehicle for exploration, knowledge, fun, and fantasy.

Lucid dreaming experience should not be compared with those that are chemically induced. A lucid deam is much closer to visions than trips.

In the end, it's all about balance. So, Please dream non lucidly, dream lucidly without control, and dream lucidly with control. Doing these three things will help keep you mentally healthy and happy!
