Alright, I'll get straight to the point, here are my concerns.


1 I'll prefer it to real life


Not that my life is bad or anything (except from an anxiety disorder, but it's slowly going away as I'm getting treatment), but I just feel like a world that seems completely real and that you can do anything in would seem better than real life.


2 I'd become confused between real life and the dream


This worry is triggered by the whole Tucson Shooter thing a few years ago. Apparently he said he was lucid dreaming during the attack. Anyway, I'm worried that I'll develop psychosis or that I'll get confused and end up doing something stupid on the real world.

3 I'll sacrifice waking time to lucid dream, to an unhealthy degree.
Basically, an addiction.


4 I'll become disinterested with life and become depressed.
I mean, I have a huge anxiety about becoming depressed anyway (my therapist has said I am categorically, 100% not depressed, and that it's just anxiety about losing control/becoming ill) and so this fear is holding me back.


5 it will aggravate my anxiety.


I mean, I know better than anyone else what disturbs me, and so a lucid nightmare would be awful, especially with anxiety.


Thanks in advance!
