Is this Lucid dreaming really safe?????

I've read some posts and people say go back into your dream and do such and such. It's just really weird to me to hear that as I thought that that was playing around with things and other spirits may come in and try to mess with you and even trick you. I know that there are many spirits out there and you have to really be safe and careful. I thought you might open yourself up to something that may not be good because it would be like a self induced action. I know people have different beliefs but it was just wierd and made me ponder. I see things all the time in the spirit, I dont try to go back in or do something myself, it just happens. I personally believe God shows us what He wants us to see and we dont have to try and go back in or anything. Maybe its me, I dont know.... I know things can get deep. I just want everyone to be safe and careful.

God Bless you All!!!

LDing is perfectly safe. You don't have to worry about anything. Sorry, I don't have anything like scientific evidence or anything, maybe someone else may. But this is what I know: I've had a lot of LDs and nothing bad has happened to me, and I've never heard of anything bad happening to anybody because of them.

Lucid dreaming is 100% safe...

Of course it is! I have never heard of anyone getting injured or killed by lucid dreaming. The only thing that I could think of that is bad with lucid dreaming, is sleep loss, and scary hallucinations. But these only happen if you make them.

In the WILD technique, you will most likely have to get up in the middle of your sleep. There is the sleep loss. Also in the WILD, you might experience hallucinations. But that is only if you try to WILD.

From all I know, this is 100% safe.

Completely, totally, unquestionably safe. It is possible to experience pain in your lucids, but you can overcome this easily by making yourself immortal. Even if you die in a dream, you'll just move on to whatever, really. People die all the time in their lucids and go on to experience whatever version of the afterlife they see fit. That, or they just respawn somewhere else. :P

I say go for it. Nothing to lose, and worlds to gain.

The one and only danger associated with LDing is have a reality check "succeed" in waking life and thinking you're in a dream when you're actually not.

Usually, that just turns out to be funny more than anything else, but it could end badly if they don't figure out it's not a dream and do something crazy like jump out a window.

Like others have said, it is possible to experience fear and pain in lucids (otherwise known as lucid nightmares--being lucid does not always mean you'll have perfect control), but you will always wake up safe and sound afterward.

As far as spirits go, there is no evidence pointing to such things. However, some very conservative Christians and other religious people consider lucid dreaming akin to dabbling in the occult. IMO, this doesn't make a lot of sense because if that's the case, then normal dreams should be just as dangerous. Lucid dreaming is simply knowing it's a dream while you're still dreaming it. Being aware it's a dream should not make the dream any more connected to spirits or the occult than a normal dream, logically.

And if you have nightmares anyway, you may experience fear in NON-lucid dreams anyway. So in fact, lucid dreaming could be good for you!

I've never heard any Christian view that dreams are from the occult...
Perhaps the idea of thinking that they are messages from something (dream interpretation?) is what's started the idea.

It will also help you write stories for school work. LD's and dreams generally are a perfect place to retrieve ideas imho.

Imagine your recurring nightmare monster appears. What do you do? Gain lucidity and smite the bugger!

Yeah, I've read more than a few threads from people who claim that demons or something are possessing them, etc. I don't buy it.

Think you are confused between lucid dreaming (In your own head) with OBE (out of body experiences) spirit supposedly being outside of the body.

Even if that is the case...It should be no more dangerous than the spirits you see around yourself in the physical realm already.

:)

Everything you dream about is all in your mind. There is no way your mind could physically hurt you in any way during dreaming. As Naiya said, lucid dreaming is only knowing that you are dreaming while dreaming, so lucid dreams shouldn't effect the spirits more than regular dreams should.
