I was talking about this with my sister. She studies Psychology at uni and as we were talking she mentioned something which caught my attention |

The REM cycle is not broken during lucid dreaming. |

No this is stupid. If you use some techniques you can sleep for 3 hours a day so our brain dont need that much rest. |

Hey, |

All of these replies are great responses as to why lucid dreams are not dangerous. Even if none of these arguments sway you, however, keep in mind that even the likes of Stephen LaBerge don't lucid dream in every dream of every night. Most of us aren't even close. There are still plenty of normal dreams if you're worried about your brain needing sleep. Rest assured, however, that lucid dreaming will never harm your brain. It never really "shuts off" anyway, just goes into more relaxed states. |

I believe pj is correct, your brain has to work more to create the dream scapre and every little detail in the dream, that could also be why you dont know your dreaming most of the time, you brain is too busy building the dream. |

Not read replies but my poersonal opinion is I am no more tired when my LDs are DILDs than a normal nights sleep - my sleep pattern means I wake up throughout the night anyway! |
|
Actually my experience tells me the opposite might be true: Lucid Dreams might actually be good for enhancing the amount of rest you get in a night's sleep + it may positively influence brain-chemistry: |

not to overestimate the Value of our Concrete Knowledge;"Common sense"/Rationality,
for doing so would make us Blind for the unimaginable, unparalleled Capacity of and Wisdom contained within our Felt Knowledge;Subconscious Intuition.
Nope, It's not dangerous in any way! You will wake up in the morning, Or if you over-work your concentration, In the middle of the night. But will still feel fully rested, Probably a whole lot more! |

You reveal that a reveal check reveals nothing.
Dangerous, through illusion with obsession. |

You merely have to change your point of view slightly, and then that glass will sparkle when it reflects the light.
No.. |

I know who I am, as I become...
Ok first of all in dreams you are usuly conscious to some extent, if you arn't conscious you wouldn't beable to think, people strangely assume that lucid dreams means conscious, infact it's just the awarness of the fact that one is dreaming, the word lucid is usualy implied with high levels of conscious awarness though, the two go together, but dreams arn't unconscious, I know it's a very diffrent way of thinking but yeah, we think in are dreams and thinking is a conscious act, even if you say we think unconsciously, can't you recall a time in a dream were you made very clear dicioutions? |

I wanna be the very best
Like no one ever was
To lucid dream is my real test
To control them is my cause
