Thread: Does being lucid stop you from resting.

Well, from what I know, the mind doesn't need rest. Although, of course, if you decide to live out a second life, THEN you might go insane.

But my answer is: That's why we don't have lucids every night.

EDIT: Just read the FULL post

Imagine, someone became so good at lucid dreaming that he/she would be lucid through his/her entire sleep, would it be harmful to the reason that each day we sleep: Resting/ recovering/ Reload our energy... ?

Well, while you're dreaming, you're using your SUBconscious, and the regular conscious is resting. You use your regular conscious throughout the day. It's like running on two different gas tanks, you can refuel one when you're using the other.
At least, that's what I know.
