Lucid dream - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Has anyone here had one of these? I dream all the time, usually very vividly. Recently I have found that in some instances, especially bad dreams that I'd became aware that it was just a dream and woke myself up. Then about two months ago I had a dream; realized that it was a dream, and started to control it. It was AWESOME. I was aware that I was dreaming and could do anything I wanted and would not get hurt, or in trouble. I've done this twice since then.

This could have far reaching implications I suppose. I've read that some people get very good at controling their dreams and can do ANYTHING they want , when they want. ie. fly through outerspace without protection exploring the universe, jump off a 50 story building and float down to earth, or fly above their house like a bird. The possibilities are endless. You could be a lion if you wanted to, or the president. (Not that Id want to dream about that though) Do you think these kind of dreams are dangerous, or unhealthy to pursue? I've thought about trying to practice my lucid dreaming....(gain more control) but Im a little leary of the idea. It is nice to be able to escape nightmares though.
