      This made me wonder. If this is all true, could lucidity have a confusing effect on people who are already psychologically vulnerable? The first lucid experience can be really shocking, I guess. Though I generally hear very profound, spiritual and positive experiences from having lucid dreams, I never come across these kind of horrible stories linked to lucid dreaming in one way or another. Of course these are all matters of speculation in this case.

      Also, maybe he posted on this forum? Link: http://www.dreamviews.com/f20/hey-im-jared-105756/
      (Sorry if that is not correct.)

      I pray for the people that are effected by this tragedy.
      It will affect the person's judgment of reality to some degree but it is not because of lucid dreaming it is because of the person's choice of what is right and what is wrong. So if the person is already having killing tendencies then he has nobody to blame but his own conscience of right and wrong. So in this case of the killing you cannot blame it that lucid dreaming is dangerous as you would blame that a car is dangerous just because of drunk driving.

      They talk about his obsession of Lucid Dreaming like he was super into it. Yet they claim he only had a journal for a year. This suggest to me that Lucid Dreaming is new to him. And like I mentioned someplace else. This kids mind seemed to be in such a turmoil that I doubt he was even any good at inducing Lucid Dreams. He may have had a couple. For most of us it takes a lot of work and concentration to induce Lucidity. Jared's mind is clearly more focused on other things.

      It sounds to me like he is much more obsessed with the real world than he was with the dream world. But One thing is for sure. If he doesn't get the death penalty, he will have plenty of time and inspiration to be working on inducing Lucidity while he spends the rest of his life locked up.
      this.
