Welcome to Dreamviews!

I haven't heard any other cases of anyone with mental health issues who practiced lucid dreaming, although I'm sure someone here has. I understand why that might make you wary of lucid dreaming; one of the few reasons why it might possibly be dangerous to lucid dream that I've heard is if someone with a mental condition mistook reality for a dream because of hallucinations, they could try something that would be fun in a dream like jumping off a building and get hurt. Since you're stable now, there probably won't be problems with it, but you might want to decide to just not do anything in lucid dreams that could hurt you in real life, to be safe.

That book you read when you were 17 sounds interesting, what was it called? BTW, about the best book out there on lucid dreaming is "Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming" by Stephen LaBerge, and if you don't want to actually find the book, all the practical information from it and more can be found in the tutorials sub-forum.

If you want to talk more about astral projection, OBEs, NDEs, etc., there's the Beyond Dreaming sub-forum, but we warned that a lot of the threads there degenerate into arguing. However, the threads there where people aren't trying to prove/disprove some phenomenon usually turn out well.
