If you look up the definition of lucid, there are a variety of meanings because the morpheme shows up in words from different languages. They call seem to point to things like "light", "clarity", "calmness", "understandable" or "expressive". To be lucid in waking- or dream-life helps one to more clearly and appreciate see the beauty and wisdom in the world around us.

And in learning about it, one sharpen's their ability to express it in a way that is just as beautiful, like moose did.

... oh my. I'm flattered.

I have to agree with everything else you just stated.
The word lucid makes me feel calm and collected. It brings about thoughts of transcending my consciousness and being.

I try my best to be 'lucid' in waking life, to notice details and analyze things that others would usually brush off. I listen to what people say closely and try to pick it apart carefully. Paying attention to your surroundings as much as possible is a real treat and offers some insights that you wouldn't expect.
