I just finished a research paper on dream psychology and I did a segment on Lucid Dreaming. I'd be interested to know what motivates everyone to try and have lucid dreams.

For example:
I'm motivated to have Lucid dreams because I believe dreams do have an important purpose. While they may not exactly preserve and strengthen our neural pathways, I do believe dreaming is healthy for at least the brain if not the entire body. I feel like dreams are another dimension and I figure, if I have the opportunity to live two lives and experience vivid and incredible experiences in the dream state, why not?

Any and all responses would be much appreciated.
