To a lot of people on here, lucid dreams seem to be used to fulfill whatever desire that comes into their minds. People are cruel, selfish, and vicious things (Note: I am not excluding myself from this) and so their desires will be less than pretty sometimes.

The difference between this and games or books and such is that it isn’t a story. Its your mind. Its’ a desire your imagining. When you play a game, you don’t really want to kill or maim anyone, you just want to get into some aggressive game play. Beat the other team. Books and movies have evil characters with evil designs. They aren’t you. They aren’t in your head completely. This is the equivalent of you fantasizing about rape during the day, only now with much better tools at your disposal.

Is it as bad as actually raping someone? Of course not. But bear in mind that it’s a reflection of you, of your heart. The fact that you were able to feel guilty about it, and recognized it as wrong is hopeful. Old parables and stories and even TV have been telling us for generations that what we wish for and desire most tells a lot about us. There is some truth in that.
I second that.

When you are Lucid, you are conscious. Thus, all actions, ideas, imagination are that of who you are. The only reason you do it in your dream is because [1] You want to. [2] You know it is a dream, and is not actually causing harm to anyone.

When you LD, your true desires surface.

I have had my fair share of what would be deemed "inappropriate". Have I thought about these things in RL? Yes. Would I ever do them in RL? Never. If I had the ability to control RL as I do dreams, would I make these events reality?, probably... The thing is, we draw a line between RL and DL, we have morals, dignity, etc.

....but like WhiteKnight said, it does give you a glimpse of who the "inner you" is.
