it's a kick-ass subject to write a school paper on, huh?

for me, the main reason I like to lucid dream is....

....for fun! But of course, I have other applications of it, and the self-discovery aspects of it is nothing to underestimate; I've realized that you can find out so much more about yourself than you thought you knew when you're in a dream state. It's as if the walls of the dam that holds your subconscious breaks, and everything lets loose, and it's just mind boggling to see how much information your brain actually holds (excluding all spiritual aspects, of course)

and after having a very thorough lucid dream, I wake up with that feeling of completion, like I didn't just sleep through the night, I had an adventure.
