What holds us back though in the waking hours, is we are more in a Regular Conciousness state of mind, and much of the time our underlying subconciousness is hidden from us.

Now when we enter a dream, we experience a rising of the subconciousness, and when we lose much of our conciousness you would experience what I guess you could call a non-lucid dream, You are pretty much believing everything that is going on, and really dont get to excercise much control over your dream,

Now when we enter a lucid dream, you have more of a balanced state of conciousness and subconciousness, So personally I think there is much awareness to be gained from this. Because you are conciously more aware of your subconciousness and able to make the most out of it

Heck, I am going off on a tangent here, but I will give a little analogy,

Waking hours are like floating on top of the ocean, Your aware of all that is on the surface but really cant see far into the deep below, when you are dreaming you are deep under the water, Smothered by the darkness of the deep below, now, when you are lucid dreaming, you are in the deep but with a flashlight , so you have the ability to discover more about your subconciousness.....

Anyways, being drunk can't really be compared to lucid dreaming, sorry... Considering that the drunken state is chemically induced and puts toxins into your brain, and Lucid dreaming is a holistic way to discover deeper parts of your self...

Anyways, hope I made some sense

Namaste
