You know many people believe that during lucid dreaming, or dreaming in general, that there is a great possibility that we are much much more intelligent than in waking life and this is backed by science. Science has found that during the rem state, oxygen and blood are both doubled to the brain. Science also found that the electrical signals in the brain is off the chart during rem.. Einstein, Thomas Edison, and many others had purportedly mentioned using a dreaming awake state to come up with ideas and theories for waking life... There is even a scientist who worked for NASA who claims to have used Lucid dreaming to solve many of his complex job tasks...

I have found many times just as falling asleep thinking about a problem, that i suddenly come up with a solution, so i wake up and right down my ideas.. and the next day apply them.. I really love the theoretical possibilities of this and it is one of the reasons I am compelled to continue lucid dreaming and exploring...

A voice activated recorder or using the phone to record is an awesome way for recording dreams when waking up in the middle of the night, or times when recall of dreams is very fresh.. I sometimes use my phone for exactly this.. then go back to sleep. It works great..
