After reviewing the basics of lucid dreaming and what it is, I decided to research the possible dangers that lucid dreaming has. According to this article, lucid dreaming can pose a very small threat to one that attempts it. A person may have trouble distinguishing between what happened in a dream, versus what actually happened in real life. I feel that this is a very logical and credible threat because of the detail and accuracy in a lucid dream. One suggestion is to record each of your lucid dreams in a dream journal in order to go back and check whether something happened in a dream or not. I personally would love to keep a detailed journal of my dreams so that I could go back and relive each dream. Another danger to dreaming is becoming too addicted to it. I, personally, don't believe that this is dangerous, however, in this article they state that a lucid dreamer would want to wake up later or sleep earlier to continue a dream. This also states that it might be dangerous from a social aspect and people would make fun of you for lucid dreaming. I don't pose this as a real danger, as more and more people are becoming interested in this phenomenon. Overall, this site provided me with information I hadn't previously known, but I wouldn't use it as a credible source when writing a professional research paper.
