A few months ago I discovered lucid dreaming and was really excited about it. I tried to do it and met good success - I was finally able to realise I was dreaming. But then real life pulled me away and I discovered (after visiting a psychiatrist) that I might have schizophrenia.

It's early days yet, and I haven't been properly diagnosed, but I have been showing signs of the illness. I've been experiencing mild hallucinations (and no, schizophrenia isn't about having a split personality if anyone thinks that) which have ranged from the annoying to terrifying. I still had my interest in lucid dreaming, but had become wary of it for obvious reasons.

But now I feel I really want to get back trying to achieve a proper lucid dream. However, there is a part of me that is worried that this could do me more harm than good.

Basically, I'm looking for opinions from people that have fully experiencing lucid dreaming. Would it be stupid for me to attempt lucid dreaming considering that I might be suffering from schizophrenia? Or would it be safe enough as long as I am careful?
