I guess my question is: why NOT use it for fun? We all need an escape from the real world from time to time. Sure, you can use it for more serious things as well, and I think that's great, but you make it sound like using it for entertainment is bad in some way. I don't get it.

And I can't see myself ever getting bored with it. Of course, I'm not to the point where I can do it anytime I want, so when it happens, it's a pleasant surprise and rare opportunity to experience things that I cannot in real life. Maybe if I LDed every night I could get bored, but somehow I think I could always find new ways to enjoy it.

As for it being dangerous -- sorry, but I just don't buy that at all. Everyone dreams all the time, and lucid dreams are no more or less dangerous than any other kind. That's the kind of talk that makes people lump LDers in with people who practice witchcraft, voodoo and what-not (no offense to Wiccans or anyone else -- I respect your right to believe what you wish as long as you're not hurting anyone, but IMO there's a big difference between that kind of activity and lucid dreaming).
