It seems a very interesting and well-written article. It would appear that a lucid dream is basically your private VR machine, although I would like to see a more in-depth discussion of the topic. Richard Feynman reported being a lucid dreamer.

Check out the wikibook - it is one of the best books there.

I've wanted to read more about it, but never had the time. Maybe I should take a look at the article and book again...

It seems a fascinating, although sometimes frightening book. Let me illustrate with quotes:

"should not be a problem unless you are mentally unstable anyways."
How many of us are really mentally stable?

"be prepared for some bad stuff to surface", "it is your subconscious" "fight" "stab"
Well I personally wouldn't relish a meeting with my own subconscious.

"Find your spiritual guide" and "the monster might be behind the corner"
What about people with nervous dispositions or weak hearts? The Average American's heart is in pretty bad shape as it is.

"frightening experiences" "sleep paralysis" "choking feeling"
The feeling of inertia, incapacitation must be pretty bad.

False awakenings seem horrible though too, don't they?

Just thoughts.

We are too 1337 and -1337 for him!

I considered -1337 as well, but I figured it would be too antisocial.

My brain uses AIML to format responses to your inputs, but I don't have one for that.
