The level of danger is relative to the degree of immersion. And the distance
and stretch of the aka chord, if thats going on.

For the most part, subliminal aspects of self handle such details and theres nothing that the dreaming self can do to really get hurt. Exotic exceptions to this rule could in theory then be enumerated.

At higher levels of skill, you take on some of those tasks and mishandling them
can be dangerous or at least problematic. Perhaps the most common problem
is of course paralysis, which in a well botched job could last for upwards of half an hour.

As long as you have a body to return to, theres not much you can do in tiferet that can harm you. However, "Harm" is also pretty relative. When one includes spiritual or mental forms of harm, then yes, learning to navigate with skill is important.

The biggest real "danger" as such is failing to seize the opportunity to escape the matrix; ie; adapting lucid dreaming as just another toy with which to play inside of the mental cage.

To put exactly the same variables in different terms, tiferet is a very big hyperspace, and most people only experience the lowest 1 percent of it.
