If you are dreaming during your normal night sleep you are probably getting less rest. A deep sleep goes beyond REM and means you won't remember your dreams. I usually only remember my dreams when sleeping in sub-par conditions (fever, too cold, too hot, noisy, too bright, other diseases, etc.) so it's usually not recommended to try and dream every night.
I've never tried anything close to lucid dreaming, I guess the best I've had was during some bus trips where I'd be in a semi-awake state bouncing back and forth between asleep and awake on my seat and having wild dreams that usually ended with me feeling like I was falling forward.
The idea of Lucid Dreaming sounds cool, but I think I have enough social escapism with gaming/internet and I'm always unconsciously trying to maximize my time awake. Whenever I get long vacations again I might consider this.
