That said, I think the biggest realization of being a frequent lucid dreamer is: how is it possible that most of us don't even realize that we are dreaming? Dreams feel completely different from real life.
The novelty may wear off for some people, right. I still pretty much enjoy it, though.

We are talking of different scenarios. It becomes a chore when you are lucid dreaming frequently without any prior intention to do so.
The way out of that is letting go of your desire of controlling your lucid dreams, and instead let them play out like a movie. You are still lucid, since you still know it's all an illusion, just like when you watch a movie IRL.
