you sleep 1/3 of your life. 1/3 of your life you will be able to do ANYTHING. your life still has like let's say 60 years or more. so taking a year to learn lucid dreaming will make you enjoy 59 years. so it's worth it to spend years learning lucid dreaming. that being said it doesn't mean that you all take a year to learn it, no.
