If you are particularly interested in dreams - either in psychology, spirituality or in psychic studies - trying lucid dreaming could help you in your research.
Here is a list of things lucid dreaming can be used for:
If you're writing fiction or even creating a world for a computer game, you may find being a lucid dreamer very helpful. Lucid dreamers can visualize their project idea as if they were actually in the story or game. You could ask your characters how they feel about something or what they think will happen.
Some participants compose music in their lucid dreams.
Lucid dreams can be a realistic enough environment to rehearse a speech or musical performance.
You can relive previous dreams or experiences.
They can help in dream interpretation and communicating with your subconscious.
Transforming into animals or getting superpowers is a unique experience that is hard to get any other way.
