Some dreams you have are an account of what has happened in your life whether recently or not. Any prophetic dreams you have are like symbols that your mind and the world send you, (Kind of like instinct and coincidences in waking life) sometimes they are clear other times they are metaphoric and usually dreams show you symbols that a relevant to each individual. There are also general meanings to things like water usually symbolizes emotions. Dreams also help you to deal with trauma.
As for lucid dreaming there are ways in which you can learn to and help yourself to lucid dream...it takes some practise...and sometimes it happens it is just recognizing it. Like when you have a dream and in it you aren't sure if you are dreaming or not. These are keys to allow you to lucid dream and you just have to facilitate it and find your own way. But they let you control your own dream in the landscape you have found yourself in. Kind of like pick-a-path.
There are also things that you can do to help you remember your dreams or to dream more vividly...like dream diaries and herbs under your pillows, or burning essential oils etc.
