The Advantage of Lucid Dreaming in Relation to the Search Activity Concept 

“SEARCH ACTIVITY CONCEPT (SAC) is a psychophysiological concept that integrates subject’s behavior, resistance to stress and deteriorating factors, pathogenetic mechanisms of different mental and psychomatic disorders, REM sleep functions and psychosomatic disorders, REM sleep, brain monoamines activity and brain laterality” – Wikipedia – https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Search_activity_concept

Dream’s lucidity (the subject’s realization that he/she is dreaming) protects dreamer from awakenings during emotionally disturbing or frustrating dreams, because lucid dreams allow subject to feel separated from the dream events that may cause a feeling of helplessness. Due to such a protection from awakenings that can bring subject back to the frustration in wakefulness, subject can turn in the further sleep to normal non-lucid dreams that are restoring subject’s SA in the subsequent wakefulness (activity in the uncertain situation with the feedback between behavior and its outcome)…” – Frontiers in Psychology 6 · September 2015, Vadim Rotenberg –  https://www.frontiersin.org/articles/10.3389/fpsyg.2015.01472/full
