Hello BD!

I'm just throwing this post out there because I was curious about it recently.

One of my old roommates from college (his name is Walker) entered a discussion about lucid dreaming once (he noticed the dream journal next to my bed, and questioned me about it), and I found out that he used to do a lot of LDing when he was younger. He told me about some of the stuff he was able to do in LD's, but then he started mentioning about why he took a break from LDing for a while. ... It turns out that, one night, he was lucid dreaming, and he had a terrible nightmare that a group of dream visitors (He didn't mention anything about what or who they were) entered his dream, and began feasting on his memories.

Recalling the conversation just now, I wanted to begin a discussion here about the prospects of 'visitors entering ones dreams/psyche and eating/abusing/tampering with ones mental consciousness'.

Would you say that it were possible that dream visitors could eat other peoples memories? ... How about put memories there that were not there before? ... Or maybe dismember a persons relative sanity? ... Really, what are the limits of permanently tampering with someone elses mind and reality while in the realm of dreaming?

Also, this is not a 'fear-based' thread, or a thread meant to cause paranoia. I personally try to practice ways/meditations to prevent outside entities from tampering with anything. ... Which, in that case, is another question altogether (How to prevent the above in the rare instance it occurs, if it CAN occur?)
