I remember a while ago (I havnt used dreamviews in years) there was a thread in which a member stated their fear of becoming lucid because they immediately became conscious of their 'unprotected' sleeping body. Which is interesting because even the act of falling asleep should leave us with this fear (if it is justified). I recently woke up from a lucid dream for the same reason and was wondering if anyone has any advice for this kind of situation? It has only really been an issue once I started thinking about it more. I guess we just have to put faith in ourselves that if anything truely untoward happens, our defense mechanisms will wake us up. the fact that we are dreaming should itself be a confirmation that we are 'safe'. Or maybe I'm just thinking too much about it.
Even though you can be attacked while sleeping, you go to sleep every night and you are in a totally unconscious state. Lucid dreaming increases your awareness so you are actually safer

Nice point concerning the RC's
