Lucid Dreaming: Good or Bad?

So about a few weeks ago (or a month?!?! o.O)
I saw this post on 9gag...
(yes, I'm a 9gagger. It took my soul. Sheesh.)

It was about Lucid Dreaming, which is being able to be conscious in your dream and controlling it, basically.
OF COURSE IT GOT MY ATTENTION.
So I started searching about it,
I went here - www.world-of-lucid-dreaming.com
It's a good site :)
It says there that dreams happen every night, but they're so blurry that you can't remember them. Or you forget them 5 minutes after waking up.
No one exactly knows where dreams come from, but to me, to make it simpler,
When you're awake, you use the conscious part of the brain, but that doesn't mean your subconscious is absent.
But when you're asleep, you use the subconscious part of your brain that gives you your dreams, and lucid dreaming is living proof that that doesn't mean your conscious mind is absent when you're asleep.
Many people actually can have lucid dreams every time they sleep.
Now let's go to the reasoning:
Pros (advantages)
1.) In Lucid Dreaming you can live out your wildest fantasies: 
Not the usual fantasies, but even the ridiculous ones like FLYING, or KILLING SOMEBODY, or HAVING A DATE WITH YOUR CRUSH.
Anything.
Name it, think of it, and it's yours in your dreams.
a 360 degree High Definition view of your fantasies coming to life.
Who wouldn't want that?
2.) You can actually ask your subconscious self any question:
With proper technique and practice, you can soon (literally) talk to yourself in your dreams, but with a better response.
You can ask like, What job should I take?
or Who should I love?
or What should I do with him?
or Show me something funny. (not a question, but you can still do it.)
or anything.
3.) Good training for your brain:
By lucid dreaming, you can have a better and more alert brain, because you can teach it more things and let it develop into using some parts you may not use.
Yes, if you study, it will probably make you smarter, in SOME circumstances.
It's like exercising you brain but you won't have to do much sacrifice.
More virtual, i tell you.
Now to the cons:
1.)Sleep paralysis and O.B.E.s
These are times when your brain has fully paralyzed your body in preparation for dreaming, but you didn't achieve full dream status yet. So you settle in paranoia and you get scary hallucinations of the worst stuff that may happen to you. BUT YOU CAN'T MOVE A MUSCLE coz you are paralyzed.
Scary, i know.
These can turn to the most frightening nightmares imaginable. Yes, if you're weak-hearted, or some kind of scaredy-cat and you tried lucid dreaming, you might die of dreams. but only if you really, really are such a scared individual. No worries though, there's more chance of you getting beat up by a bunch of retarded giraffes than of you dying from nightmares.
2.) False Awakenings
Those are the times when you "wake up" from your dream, but you're not really awake, but you're dreaming
Aren't real cons, but are sometimes a bad possibility so yeah :D
OVER ALL:
In my opinion (no hate),
Lucid dreaming can be a very amazing experience to everyone.
So I'm going to label this one GOOD :)
*traditional lyen krenz thumbs up*
Why? Because whatever worse your nightmares can become, remember, it's still YOUR mind and you control everything that happens in them.
You CONTROL YOUR DREAMS.
So, the more confidence you have over your brain, the less chances of nonsense nightmares.

Take it from me,
I actually realized I was dreaming in a dream once,
that I was in some space army with Nyx (random, I know.) then we were unpacking our things then suddenly I snapped,
"I'm dreaming aren't I?"
"What?"
"I'M DREAMING AREN'T I?!?!"
"What?"
then I flipped the table then suddenly I was alone.
I was looking at my feet, so excited that I was conscious that I was awake, and then I wanted to fly...
I was jumping, then all the excitement caused me to wake up -_-"
So YEAH, Lucid Dreaming is a thumbs up for me :)
How about you? Tweet me your answers, folks! @lyenkrenz ;)
