I want to learn to lucid dream, but I really like normal dreams

You won't sacrifice normal dreaming by lucid dreaming. You'll just be aware and if you want normal dreams, stop thinking and let stuff happen...

Dreams either come from your subconscious or from some other dimension, probably you'll go somewhere similar at death (but more heavenly)

But that's the point, I don't want to be aware I am dreaming in normal dreams

Also I don't really believe in an afterilfe and think that's kinda unrelated

I know, I was just injecting my opinion

You would have to relax, it's hard to explain but dreams are thoughts so you stop thinking and you stop dreaming.

I've done this before.

I frequently have lucid dreams as well as regular ones, though I don't often try to induce lucid dreaming. I'm a long term sufferer of sleep paralysis, so it kind of just happens as a result of being in that halfway point sometimes. I'd say it just depends on your mindset at the time. You're not always going to be alert and anxious, sometimes you're just super sleepy and you'll go wherever your brain takes you. I don't think being able to lucid dream is an irreversible process.
