Is there any danger in lucid dreaming?
No more than there is in normal dreaming. The only difference is, you know you're dreaming as you're doing it, and you can control your environment as you wish. The only danger that I can see is being seen as weird by people who aren't familiar with the concept when you try to explain it to them.
I know someone who can't stop lucid dreaming. There are many people to whom lucidity comes naturally, and they are lucid in all their dreams, or a large percentage thereof. And he, and the many lucid naturals on these boards, is perfectly healthy.
If you want to be cautious, simply use moderation in your lucid dreaming. And that isn't too hard. Even if you manage to become lucid three times a week, that still leaves 32 non-lucid dreams on average!
It's not dangerous at all. It can be scary sometimes, but all fear is just fear of the unknown.
I'm one of those people. On any given day, I have about a 70% chance of getting a lucid dream. But I don't see anything bad about it. In fact, it's absolutely wonderful.
Thanks for the quick replies!
So I will give it a try tonight(i mean, i WILL DO it tonight :))
Happy dreams to all of you!
Good luck! And don't worry- it's completely safe. Have a great time!
