I think lucid dreaming can be very powerful, as it allows you to direct your thoughts and dreams in a new way.  I can give you a quick overview of how it works, if you’re interested.

Yes, of course, please.

If you want to become a lucid dreamer, there’s no trick.  You just need to give it a try.  Lucid dreaming is basically thinking about a dream you’re having, while you’re having it.  So imagine you’re having a dream, and you see a glass of water.  Just say to yourself “This is a dream, I’m dreaming.” Then try to move around in the dream and see what happens.  It might not work the first few times you try, but then one day you’ll wake up from a dream and realize it was really a dream, and that will be the beginning of a new way to have dreams.  You can use the technique to make sure you’re awake in the real world, or to explore the contents of dreams you’re having, or even to control the dream.  Once you’ve got the hang of it, it’s a very powerful tool.

Sounds great. One problem, I can't remember my dreams anymore. Very rarely. Do you have any advice on how to remember you dreams?
user
Do you mean you can’t remember all of your dreams?
assistant
Very few. As a child, I was able to lucid dream. Very rarely as an adult do I remember my dreams. Only very quick snippets when I do.
