Well said

Personally, I use my dreams to explore design ideas and come up with that initial spark to fuel the creative process. It is so easy to generate ideas in a dream, it almost feels like cheating.

Yes! It's true - creativity comes so easy in dreams, it is like - 'where has this come from'!

MoreLucid, your technique sounds great - I will try totally flipping out one I realise I am lucid. I think this will work for me because it will keep my focus on the my involvement in the dream and off the real world. I think I'll try doing this:

I was lucid last night for a little while during a dream about an old friend and I remember thinking 'Right, I am dreaming so I must stay in this dream because I won't get to see this friend in real life.'
