on average i get 8 to 10 hours of sleep. i didnt force myself to stay in bed. i know once i naturally wake up, my mind/body is telling me that it has had its proper amount of sleep. i hardly ever wake up feeling the way i did. it felt like my mind was still asleep.

i was thinking today while walking to one of my classes (im a college student) could you use lucid dreams as a sort of "power of suggestion"? like, if you are an ill being, like either sick or have a rash, etc... could you use lucid dreams to cure yourself of these things? there are physical practices of people using the power of suggestion to cure patients of numerous things. could you use lucid dreams to your advantage in this way?
