I like that part of a "mini-death" for sleeping that you declared. I remember in High School, my AP Psychology teacher talked about sleeping being small experiences of death.
I thought he was just messing with our minds (he did that a lot, which isn't a surprise for a Psychology teacher), but now with lucid dreaming, it may be possible that we go through mini-deaths to experience the freedom of adventure.
I'm envious that you're getting lucid dreams, especially ones where you aren't worried about stabilizing. I've been getting lucid dreams as well, but it's always a rush for me because I want it to be stabilized, and the infinite possibilities that I could experience just makes it so compelling that I get so overwhelmed and think about the physical world for some reason.
Who knows, dreaming may be the medium for exploring other realms, it just depends on person to person. I personally think it is my mind's fabrication of different phenomena, but that's because I'm still new to this despite practicing induction techniques (I took a break from LDing for maybe a week or so a few months ago and got back into it).
And I think that's why I'm not having longer Lucid Dreams, it's just that I'm so used to be constrained by the limits of waking life that I can't manifest subjective truths with the dream world.
Maybe then I'll realize why we all go through this reality and are given the opportunity to do anything in our dreams. It's that fine line that I'm on when I wake up and think "Oh, reality...crap.:
That's why I'm trying to find my Dream Guide, not to find reasons to why I'm not so motivated to excel in life, but how I can just accept that doubt and just continue with new reasons to do so.
Hope you have more lucids, and sorry if I went off to a wild tangent there, it's just that part with sleep being mini-deaths that sparked this.
