Talk:Warning About Lucid Dreaming/@comment-26523876-20160609000043/@comment-25569708-20160609002256

Sorry to butt in here Yuri, but I just wanted to say that this story and what it implies as true is completely false. I have been actively working towards lucid dreaming for a long time, and I have never had a negative experience with it. In fact, the act of lucid dreaming (when you actually get it to work), is one of the most enjoyable and interesting experiences there can be. The only real danger present in lucid dreaming would probably come from underlying mental issues, or some sort of traumatic experience you may have had which would negatively present itself in your dreams. The way your subconscious is believed to interact with you (or your conscious mind), is primarily through vague images and feelings, not crazy murderous people with knives and clubs. And you certainly would never be physically harmed/die because of a lucid dream.

Please don't stop trying to lucid dream just because of this fictitious online story, there's really little that can go wrong when you lucid dream as long as you're in the right and healthy state of mind.
