I agree with this. If one must focus on a side...then the bright side is the best, I guess.
Thing is, with dreaming, there's the notion of disengaging focus altogether and then following what emerges amidst that suspended focus....tracking it without clinging or getting preoccupied. Of relinquishing and allowing dreaming to come to you/me. My impression is that dreaming, lucid and otherwise, is part of the natural state of things...and will naturally emerge if we just get out of its way. Stay aware and let go....or vice versa . In the simplest terms, its the recipe for lucid dreaming....and for seeing while awake.
But, as you say, intending for the best is a powerful tool.
