that sounds like a great process! i think eating a healthy diet, drinking a lot of water, getting good rest, all as you say, are how to clear the pineal gland.. plus meditating!! haha right on track!! i too have had a few lucid dreams, but cannot do them whenever i want. i think you can slip in and out of lucid dreaming and call it a lucid dream- it doesn't only mean to have control over it. to me when i have had that, i've been aware i was dreaming and can change the course of events in the dream.. it's more conscious. hope that helps.
