Thread: Why doesn't lucid dreaming have the repercussion it should?

I think lucid dreaming is touched upon in psychology courses, probably when sleeping and dreaming is discussed. They don't go deep into it though because lucid dreaming is not vital to health.

I feel the turnoff that prevents lucid dreaming from being a major part of pop culture is the amount of effort it takes most people to lucid dream. There isn't yet a way to make lucid dreaming easy for the masses so people don't want to take the effort because they want instant gratification. Many people don't even care to notice their dreams at night because other things are more important to them because they don't notice their dreams at night. So, they don't become interested with dreams in the first place.

Lucid dreaming isn't harmful. If it was, self-awareness would be harmful.
