Though I know how to Lucid dream I prefer not to and still have control over my dream if I desire it. I am not looking for paintings in my dreams I am just selecting objects and or scenes from them that were very interesting, and most of the time there is at least one. Since I remember my dreams vividly there is no need for me to stop in my dream and memorize a location or scene, I could see where this would be helpful in lucid dreaming however.
I have been able to wake myself on command from dreaming for a long time now, ever since I started to pay attention to my state of conscience.
Furthermore I do not lucid dream any more because I can force myself into a dream state really fast now, and do so every day when I nap. I have had 10 dreams in 9 minutes at times, all non lucid, again still under my control if I desire because I know its a dream.
Thanks for the tips though, if I ever get board of my dreams to the point that I have to look for artistic paintings I will try it, but I have never not liked my dreams and most people I know would love to have them. :)
