Lucid Dreaming - A useful skill?

If you think about it, when not under alot of stress, or being overlyworked mentally or physically, your dreams seem uncontrollable. They path themselves as if fate were controlling you or telling you where to go, what to do.

But the opposite state of being, where you're stressed, you have overly used your mental capability for the day, your dreams seem so vivid and controllable. It's probably because of how you've grown up since adolescence.

For example, years of mental conditioning, such as learning how to solve a type of math problem, definately can prepare you for such an ability with dreams. You work and work at the problem, getting frustrated at not being able to solve it. FINALLY, at the end of the day, you understand how to solve it. But alas, you're tired, bored, and annoyed by the other problems. However, seeing there's only 15 left to do, you're mind takes control. You can do the math and get it done with some satisfaction for once.

Your ability to control your dream, choose where to go, what to do, may be a product of your struggle in what ever is going on in life. With exams and such taking place, just comming home and going to bed puts your mind to ease, but also gives a sense of dominance as, "Oh, calculuus can't touch me in here! God I'm through with THAT exam. Now for some fun of my own."

In the end, relief. Your mind is letting off pressure and steam from the days work.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
