I'm eager to have these dreams, but I used to have really bad nightmares. I forget about all dreams unless the pertain to real life somehow, in which case I remember them well.

I think I selectively remember my dreams because I have had some pretty bad nightmares.

I want to lucid dream but I don't feel mentally healthy and I'm afraid of what my mind will produce. I've been really shaky emotionally and I'm afraid that dozing off one afternoon with numb legs and a pretty light show could turn bad if screeching metal or monsters appear.

Can somebody educate me on the negative aspects of WILD dreaming and if they think I should still go through with it? Today and tomorrow night are my only opportunities to WILD dream for a few weeks.
