Amen to dolphin and RebelSeven. Like dolphin said, if you can remember dreams, then go for it--there is absolutely nothing to lose. Remembering dreams in and of itself can be a pleasure.

And as RebelSeven mentioned, lucid dreaming can ease suffering. I think one of the main reasons I became a lucid dreamer was because I was suffering--albeit psychologically, but suffering nonetheless. Lucid dreaming provided an alternative view of reality that was less suffocating. I wish you a full and swift recovery, voBy. Continue to practice, if you are able!
