No seriously, I mean there is so much new stuff being discovered about the universe every day. But there is a limit to this. We can't look further than the horizon of about 13.7 billion lightyears away, and never will. The opposite side is quantum mechanics (weird stuff). So what about the subconscious. LDing is one of the many wonders of the universe IMO. I always wanna have epic dreams, although life itself can be pretty epic too.

I was really joking about finding the secret of the universe just to screw with Ghaerdon for assuming he knows all of my lucid dreaming goals. However, I do seek higher states of consciousness in lucid dreams. I am talking about experiencing Nirvana for long periods at a time. I know it is possible, but I have not pulled it off yet. I briefly experienced something sort of like it in a non-lucid dream one time, but I want to be able to pull it off at will all the time.

The secret of the univese = 42
That is what I mean with maybe the secret lies hidden in the subconscious, spiritually. Nirvana is the highest spiritual attainment in Buddhism. And I'm sure that is epic.

Hey, that is it! The search is now over.

I once had a dream where my friend killed our biology teacher and got sent to some school prison. So me and some other guys staged a jailbreak. Bullets and explosions everywhere

I had an epic dream that was lucid at one point. It led to a full-length novel.

It was really two dreams that ran concurrently (somehow, I had no trouble telling them apart). I was female in both (?!).

Dream 1 took place in 16th century England. I was in a rich but abusive family that tried to take over the government. They would put me on the throne at the age of 15 because they could control me. The scheme failed (as I knew it would) and I was beheaded at the age of 16.

Dream 2 took place in the near (but indefinite) future. I was also in a rich family but my parents were dead (possibly murdered). Associates of my grandfather tried to take over the family fortune by murdering me when I was 16 years old. I managed to escape and survive (and they had a falling-out and their conspiracy collapsed). I inherited the family fortune.

In both dreams, I identified with the characters that represented me until the moment when they were about to die. Then I "woke up" and shouted to them to fight. Of course, in dream 1 there was nothing "I" could do because she was on a scaffold about to be beheaded. In dream 2, she managed to hit one of the murderers with a beer bottle (they were not too bright), sabotage their one working pistol, and dash out the door.

Dream 2 became the novel.

Dream 1 has elements of historical truth: In 16th century England, the Grey family (Henry Grey was a marquis, one step below a duke) tried to overthrow the government and put their daughter Jane Grey on the throne. She occupied it for 9 days and then was arrested and beheaded at the age of 16.
