Thread: lucid dreaming doing damage?

All thats really been done is the adopting of a new habit. If you lucid dream less, you slip back into old habits. I don't know the specifics, but its probably not doing any damage. I mean if your lucid dreaming literally every night from when you start dreaming to when you wake, then maybe you need to cut back. But with it not being the case with most people, it cannot do much damage. If you lucid dream literally from when you start dreaming to when you wake, i think it can cause you to not get as well a nights sleep, but thats if you do it like on a daily basis.

Then again, i could be wrong.

Remember also that aside from natural lucid dreamers, the majority of your dreams will likely be non-lucid. You've still got plenty of time to sort out your thoughts.

Even with natural lucid dreamers, who have them every night, there are no signs of problems.

The only way a Lucid Dream can cause damage is if:
1) You take anomalous substances and chemicals to induce one (ganja, an overdose on your vitamin pills, 'fluffy pink bunnies' or related euphemisms, etc).
2) Your social life and personal hygiene begin to decline as the result of an aberrant increase in the amount of time devoted to Lucid Dreaming.
3) You begin to suffer withdrawals of any kind whether depressive or psychotic when you don't have your fix of Lucid Dream for the night.

I bet you lucid dreaming puts your brain in exercise mod. I heard the body is more rested after non rem states. Now imagine what real REM can do to your world. The stress gives you more time to sleep and more time to lucid dream. But I can imagine the brain being entrained over months of long term LDing. The brain learns to become fit to the condition of experiencing extreme Lucid Dream states. I remember inducing a HLL experience and my world couldn't animate it as far as 5 6 metres and their would just be a void. Over time you will build LD brain muscles. So you would be high tolarant to it. On the other hand obeing will not train you brain because you can obe in non rem.
