I agree. I also find regular dreaming more interesting than lucid dreaming. Regular dream worlds tend to be more vivid and detail rich. Even without exercising the "god powers", simply breaking character tends to ruin it for me. With increasing lucidity, the dream gradually stops throwing stuff at me that I don't intentionally create, and the mental effort of creating interesting things on purpose tends to 1) disintegrate portions of the hallucination that I'm not attending to and 2) wake me up.
