I don't make any assumptions. But dreams do serve a purpose. It's a way for our subconcious to delete information in a way. I find many times the contents of my dreams contain things that have been recently experienced by me. It's a pretty essential part of the human mind. Everyone dreams even if they do not remember them.

Did you ever think that perhaps because you're conciously trying to control your dreams you're just having dreams where you're in control of your dreams? True lucidity comes from being aware not so much that you're dreaming but that what is happening is actually happening, from having concious thought inside your dreams. I attain this with no effort or trying. I do not think my dreams would be as successful if I actually tried to have them be lucid.
