      Non-lucid dreams are an accidental conduit to the ocean of knowledge, experience, and spiritual surprise that is our unconscious minds, our true selves, our souls. Lucid dreams are are an opportunity to dive into this ocean, fully self-aware, to learn, explore, and unite with our complete selves.

      OR....

      Dreams are nothing more than synapses with no current waking duties firing randomly, activating our perceptions to no real purpose with no real content. Dreams carry zero real meaning until after you're awake and interpreting what you dreamed. Lucid dreaming is a fantastic way to play the random images, nothing more.


      Could go either way...

      I've been reading over a few more of other people's ideas. Dutchraptor, it's not like I have any solid data to back my theory but I was wondering if you had any information about how our brain would access memory during sleep? It's an interesting idea. Also I think it would line up pretty well as another facet of where I'm coming from.
      We may guess that in dreams life, matter, and vitality, as the earth knows such things, are not necessarily constant; and that time and space do not exist as our waking selves comprehend them. Sometimes I believe that this less material life is our truer life, and that our vain presence on the terraqueous globe is itself the secondary or merely virtual phenomenon." H.P. Lovecraft
