You can't get 'attached' to the dreamstate in the way you are describing. Nor can you get stuck in a lucid dream. A lucid dream is just like a regular dream, the only difference is that you actually have control of the dream and are aware that what you are seeing is a dream.
I guess it could be possible to become 'obsessed' by lucid dreaming.

Though this isn't too likely, it's far more likely that it'll just become part of you. Though I copuldn't think of a better thig to be part of me.

Oh yeah, welcome to the forum.

Welcome to Dv mate. YOu can always force yourslef to wake up if you think yoru stuck in an LD. Sometimes shouting yoru name wakes you up. Youll never be trapped.

Do you mean like the movie Vanilla Sky ?

I think that is a kind of scary thougt, but I don't think it could happening in real life.
