Dreams, I believe, are conjured in the subconscious mind. The reasons are not important, nor are the meanings apart from the obvious interpretations.

I look at my mind as having (at least) two liquids. The Conscious mind floats on top of the sub-conscious during the day.

However, as we sleep, the conscious mind gradually falls or sinks below the surface of the sub-consciuos.

My belief, at least in visual terms, is that during a lucid dream the conscious and sub-conscious become entangled so that both are sinking or rising at the same time.

It would stand to reason that if I were able to command my subconscious while I'm awake to "rise" and become entangled that I would be able to enter a transe-like state and become lucid at will. This is not currently and may never be my goal, and I could be completely wrong about everything, but this is how I see things.
