Can Lucid Dream be dangerouse?

[tekkendreams]

So i was reading a thread about summoning , and some pple come up with odd ideas .Example here : Is it possible to say you wanted to kill someone like your nextdoor neighbour , you walked out the front door, went into there house killed them. And when you wake up you actually did it? since LD seem so real. Im scared that LD can make you dreamwalk in RL and do wat u are doing in ur LD. is that possible? i hope not.

No there not dangerous and how the hell would that be possible? Is someone putting false ideas in your head?

Unless you have a pre-existing sleepwalking condition then you're fine. And even if you did, i really don't think that you'd be able to effectively commit murder with your eyes closed.

the murder was just an example , i just think about LD all the time thats why i thought " wait if this feels real is it because in real life im doing it" . But guess its not dangerouse

I have heard stories about people sleep walking and killing someone. I doubt it was because of a Lucid Dream. Anyway a simple way to avoid that, is don't kill people in a Lucid Dream. There is no reason to anyway, not even if they are attacking you. The only reason would be, if you have some dark desire to kill them. But what if your sleep walking and Jump off of a building, or cliff! Things I do all the time in Lucids. Well I guess if I knew I had that kind of problem sleep walking, I would just chain myself to my bed. OK cool, problem solved.

not nearly as dangerous as spelling dangerous wrong.

i cannot stress how much of the killing someone was an example i dont ever ever think of stuff like that.

[trigotron]

no need to appologize for dreaming about killing people. Many people dream about it, i've probably seen more posts about killing zombies/enemies/ other stuff than i have about sex. The point is, dreams are where you can fufill all the crap that you can't do in real life, its perfectly natural and in line with america's philosophy that violence is morally better than sex.

i have heard a lot about people making love to each other in reality while they were dreaming, but not murdering each other... i wouldn't worry too much about it. Though, making love to my neighbor would be pretty bad. Think i'll lock my door from now on.

i cannot stress how much of the killing someone was an example i dont ever ever think of stuff like that. Yeah it's not a big deal. I am often trying to kill stuff in non lucid dreams. Just that once lucid, I realize there is no point. I prefer to defeat attackers with other methods. I normally let them try and harm me, then laugh when they see that they can't. Or I will just levitate them and make them float away. I understand it was just an example. and I see what you are saying. sleep walking could be dangerous any time, Lucid Dreaming or not.

I think 'dangerous' might be an extreme choice of words, perhaps 'hazardous' would be a better choice of words. During my experiences in my early years as a student of lucid dream control, I became very confused, I actually had a problem with identifying reality from an LD. Often I would find myself caught up in a dizzying soup of non-reality/reality conflicts...was I dreaming or not? At times many hours passed as bouts of constant deja vu would cause me to fight my way back into a stable frame of mind. It turned out that I had developed a medical condition similar to epilepsy, my brain was unable to define realtime against dreamtime, everything was too familiar for me. The result was nausea, headaches, emotional stress, I kept everything to myself, I felt that I was going crazy and that no one would believe that I had a problem. This all took place during my high school years, it gradually tapered off, only to begin again in my later 20's, it was then that I sought medical help. I guess I am wired different from most people, yes I have a fantastic LD life, but it is sometimes confusing to separate reality from the dream world. Just be careful.

There has been times that I have gotten nervous. Like, 'What if this IS real?' but I always trust my instincts. Instinct never lies. It's not dangerous.

Lucid Dreaming is only dangerous if you allow it to be used as a form of escapism, and let it take priority over your life.

[ExoByte]

The whole term Lucid Dreaming means KNOWING your dreaming. With many reasons, there is no hazard in Lucid Dreaming. Use the search button, its there for a reason. There have been many threads on this subject and the answer has yet to change.

Once when I was LDing, I went directly from dreaming to being awake. I'll explain. So I had this short LD where I was sitting in my bed, I did a reality check and I was in fact dreaming. I shot a fireball at my door, but nothing happened (fire did come out of my hand though). I then did another reality check right after that, and I wasn't dreaming anymore, and I was sitting upwards in my bed, which was very weird. So what if I didn't do that reality check and I went out and started blowing stuff up? This is all true, and you may want to take this into account.

No, its not dangerous. Even if they do seem real. there are ALWAYS things off. Just make sure your aware its a dream, RC's.

[LucidInCuB!zt]

u got it all mixed up supposely when u "dreamwalk" u enter another person's dream.. thats why u seem confused. u dont psysically get out of your bed while dealing with dreamwalking total...

[Scatterbrain]

Nobody here knows what they're talking about. Lucid dreaming is extremely dangerous.

[Caradon]

Well, if you went into another persons dream and tried to kill them. The same thing would happen, that happens, when someone tries to kill you in a dream. Nothing! If you could be killed in a dream, I would have been dead a long time ago.

I guess you could define it as dangerous, but then you would have to come to the conclusion that dreaming is dangerous too, if not more dangerous because as a few posters in this topic have already mentioned... LDing is knowing you're dreaming!!

Dreams are completly internal. It's all happening in you're head, there is no way you could be in you're dream and actually kill someone in real life. (Atleast as far as I know) One thing that's helpped me get past many obstacles as far as "Hearing loud gunshots" when doing WILDs or similar things that would scare the average person and mess up there trance is, from day 1 I told myself "Everything that has to do with dreams are 100% fake and nothing can happen to me" End result I've had some of the wildest dreams and never do I think it's real, because I know it's all in my head. I've got killed so many times that I don't even wake up instantly I tend to slowly die in the dream and then wake up. The reason I think LDs are more real than life sometimes is not because it's actually real, it's because... "YOU ARE IN THE MOMENT THE PRESENT MOMENT" as learned from Eckhart Tolle's book "The power of now". Basically in real life most people are so focused on the past or future and there never really in the present moment. (Very good book) Now when you're in a dream you're in the moment always. How do I know? Because you never really think about time and also because the times it's more real than life is when you're 100% conscious of all your senses. Most of us right now aren't even aware of what we smell, nor feel, nor hear. It's all on different ranges right now. Maybe your hearing is lower because you're focused on reading. (visuals)

I agree, I think the only real danger would be to someone who is capable of having sudden breaks with reality (psychosis or schizophrenia). I often wondered if anyone has ever done a reality check while awake and because of a mental issue the reality check failed and they wrongly assumed they must be dreaming and attempted to do something crazy thinking it was a dream. As a kid I was wrongly put on Lithium for years (where I get my nick from) and sometimes did have a hard time telling if I was dreaming or awake. I developed a sort of OCD during that time checking and rechecking things for awhile.
