Thread: Dangers Of Lucid Dreaming?

Secondly we have to train ourselves to LD thus breaking natural barriers in our mind that could be there to safeguard against dream lucidity, so surely it's not natural and may have harmful effects.
Sorry if i'm talking rubbish here but if anyone understands me please share your thoughts. Also if your just starting out don't let this put you off trying to learn, as Lucid Dreaming is a very rewarding experience and PROBABLY not dangerous.
Thanks

sorry but no you do not have to teach yourself to ld... some people naturally learn to do it ...i did when i was a child from nightmare's..and i also without realising would increase clarity..i would shout alot in dreams to see if people in my house would hear me..kinda lame to think every1 has to learn when for some it comes natural.... well im 22 now and am having to re-train i still hav ld's just not as often ...i guess due to my 8year cannabis habit

if u wana have good ld's then dont even think of starting smoking weed ..i mean i did still hav them but seriusly it makes em a whole lot harder..and the past week i havent smoked any i have had so much more dream recall
