For this example, you're supposed to steal a diamond from a museum. So you become lucid. You go into a building which is your HQ and you can see the museum from there. You create all the weapons you'd need ( to do it non lucid ) and you create DC's around you to remind you of the task at hand. Then you lose lucidity. At this point, stabilization is no longer an issue. Non lucid dreams generally last longer than lucids, so you'd get more things done. Some people also have problems when they attempt things like sex. This could help solve that as well, because those problems usually don't come up in non lucid dreams. So, tell me what you think.
Your profile thingy says you are male. Most experimenters with non-physical sex, whether you call it astral or just dreaming, report that while women can because the orgasm brain-circuitry is open to spontaneous triggering, the male brain's sexual centers have a different brain-circuitry which makes it nearly impossible for males, despite lucidity or lack thereof.

It's not too hard to be lucid in a dream in a low-key way, letting the dream take place in a natural progression. Nothing says you have to fly, use super powers, or otherwise spoil things. You can simply use lucidity to appreciate the dream more, by being able to think freely as it unfolds.

-Though I don't think I have problems with stability, whatever you mean by that. Or duration, though I've found that lucidity can waver slightly if a dream goes on for long enough, T > 25 (real) minutes. And I lost my excitement many dreams ago.
