      When we dream and sleep are memory is stabilized, when we lucid dream this changes are brain functions. Now I was wondering if lucid dreaming will improve your memory in the long run or mess up your memory. I would say improve, well unless all you do in lucid dreams are having sex or violence. Well in normal dreams memory is stabillized subconsciously, however in a lucid dream your memory would be treated differently as you are conscious. Also would being conscious all the time change your brain, as meditation increases the size of your brain, being conscious alway would probley do the same.
      Well if you can lucid dream at will and anytime, I guess you would have various advantages over normal people. I read a article about people who nap have a higher IQ then people who don't, I wonder if people who can lucid dream good have a higher IQ then normal people. On the other hand evolutionary speaking we are messing with sleep, which is important to memory i.e. lucid dreaming people might get dumber.
      Intill I people take mRI scans of lucid dreamers then we don't know the true effect lucid dreaming has on the brain, however if it increases activity it would improve memory massively. I remeber a experiment with rats were they increases brain activity during sleep and this reversed memory loss.

      The planet Earth exhibits all of these properties and therefore can be considered alive and its own single organism by the scientific definition.

      does the planet Earth reproduce, well no unless you count the moon.

      Well i think personally that lucid dreaming can't do any harm in the long run, us messing with our sleep is wrong, we can do what ever we wish, evolution has pretty much stopped for us humans, you know, naturally the saying goes "survival of the fittest" and those with better genes live on and those with worse genes don't live to pass on the gene, but nowadays there are medications to keep people who have problems from dying or going insane, we seem to be entering a stage in which we can't evolve because of finding cures for things, there's no competition anymore and this means that the not so great genes get passed down. Sorry for the science lesson but this is the current state of evolution atm.

      Well no evolution hasen't stopped. Survival of the fittest is not evolution and it is wrong to reduce such a complex idea to a few words, also I suggest you read survival of the sickest book. Evolution will continue as are brain will evolve as human and we will proberly merge with technology. Also people are having babies later so this will increase the age of human beings. I read that autism is increasing and other mental illneses like schiofernia. Also when humans mess around with genetic material like designer babies and gene splicing then evolution will happen.

      Natural selection part of evolution is dead, well unless you take choosing a partner is natural selection. So I guess evolution is dead.
      Lucid dreaming is against evolution, does this mean lucid dreaming is bad for you?
      Also I remeber reading about a scientist who said that if lucid dreaming was allowed to happen the species in question would die off because he would choose the dream world instead off the real world. I think lucid dreaming would be extremely good or extremely bad with no middle ground if you could lucid dream at will.
