Thread: Possible Dangers Of Lucid Dreaming!

IMO, this is a load of bull.

For starters, none of these have to do with me, or frighten me, and I've had loads of lucid dreams, been doing it for almost a year...

I'm sure dissociation (and similar problems) only arises if the person's unable to distinguish normal dreams from reality in the first place. Unless they have some bigger underlying psychological problem. Unless the person's very fragile, and want to escape from reality due to depression, etcetera, addiction won't be a problem. Lucid dreams don't change a thing about REM, your brain's just conscious while you're dreaming. There's no true biological effects. And false awakenings are a good opportunity to LD. The positives far outweigh the "risks" posted, and there's no need to even post them because the person should really know, from common sense, what the risks are if they're mentally unstable or such.
