Where does lucid dreaming get you? Really. I'm not saying it does or doesn't advance a warrior. Just curious why warriors assign such significance to lucid dreaming. It's a system of knowledge. Stalking. Dreaming. All things in balance.
We can use lucid dreaming to improve the quality of our waking life and gain awareness! In short, we can overcome things in a lucid dream easier than in real life, as there are no boundaries. We can do healings so the benefits of that are obvious. Dress rehearsals of every day events are also possible and very beneficial in lucid dreams. The mind's creative process and ability to problem solve are greatly heightened in lucid dreaming. And bigger than all of those things perhaps, merging the attentions or as some would call it -- Transcendence
From the Lucidity Institute:
The experience of being in a lucid dream clearly demonstrates the astonishing fact that the world we see is a construct of our minds. This concept, so elusive when sought in waking life, is the cornerstone of spiritual teachings. It forces us to look beyond everyday experience and ask, "If this is not real, what is?" Lucid dreaming, by so baldly baring a truth that many spend lives seeking, often triggers spiritual questioning in people who try it for far more mundane purposes. Not only does lucid dreaming lead to questioning the nature of reality, but for many it also has been a source of transcendent experience. Exalted and ecstatic states are common in lucid dreams. EWLD (CLICK HERE) presents several cases of individuals achieving states of union with the Highest, great peace and a new sense of their roles in life.
