I wish that I could experience one. I never have. I once had a book that claimed to teach you how to have lucid dreams, but it didn't work with me.

I have found that if I eat right before I go to bed, the chance that I have a nightmare is greatly increased. I have no idea why that would be. Anyone else have that happen to them?

Personally, I wouldn't assume that the 'clothes always underneath' thing has to do with frustration with yourself. I don't know if there is much good evidence for dream metaphors. A bedtime slice of pizza might make me dream that I can't escape a well, but I'm not sure if that's my feelings of helplessness or indigestion. Maybe in your lucid state, you are simply aware of the covers that remain on you.
