      If it is a 'normal' dream then if you attack a DC well there isn't much you can do about it as you have exerted no (conscious) control. So there would be no point worrying about the moral question.

      However in a dream where you can exert some degree of control, or a high level of control, or will as in a 'lucid' dream then I don't personally like the idea of attacking or humiliating a DC just for the fun of it; although I might argue this if I was attacked first. I would plead self defence in that case!

      Just like real life I would try the diplomatic approach first. Try to find out the reason behind things rather than simply lashing out. You might find your own answers to your inner conflicts in real life.

      As Sivason mentions in his above post that there is a tremendous opportunity for personal and spiritual development when practicing LD.

      Anyhow, it's just my 2 cents!

      I never really try to injure a DC, In a gunfight lately I shot one just wounding him and I felt awful about it while trying to patch him up.
      I dont even hurt monsters, If theyre obnoxious I order them to the junkyard
