Wow, I've been stuck with dialup for too long, sorry I mised this!

I agree with you, many people do use lucid dreaming as an amusement. I cannot count how many times I've heard people compare it to a video game.

I would like to throw my hat in the ring and say that for me, lucid dreaming is 90% about exploration and learning about myself and the worlds around me. (10% is still fun, you've got to admit there is nothing like a good flight!)
I never fight, kill, or commit any acts of violence in my lucid dreams.

I've gained such a sense of peace in my soul since beginning to lucic dream, although I've never been attacked by anything, I feel that lucid dreaming has somehow calmed or eliminated some of the demons in my subconcious.
I feel such peace and love for everything around me.
