Hello, I am a new member on this site and I have read about lucid dreaming for a month now but never tried to achieve one. I would like if you could read my post to answer all questions I might have in the development of this text. Let us begin:

My first concern is that I'm 14. I have read that lucid dreaming does not provoke dementia or other psychological disorders, but maybe since my mind isn't fully developed I might not be ready for experimenting with lucid dreaming. I would not like to risk my developed adult mind for dreams that might not work out because of my underdeveloped mind.

Second, when I first read about RCs, I constantly executed them although having no intentions of LDing or DILDing. They just amused me
I dream in black-and-white. I find this weird since I didn't live in times of black-and-white television. I was wondering, if I am ready for LDing, if I would have to continue doing RCs in the conscious world since, if I am dreaming and realize it, I would know only by the color of my surroundings.

I have mostly read Sushi's guide to LDing and I want to start when I am positive that all risks are non present and that I can continue a life practicing and perfecting Lucid Dreaming. The whole idea rocks.

Thanks to all who made it all the way down and didn't TL;DR. Appreciate all feedback and I hope I can be part of this active community of subconscious thinkers. Dreaming or awake, we perceive only events that have meaning to us.
