Is lucid dreaming bad?
Why would that be a bad thing? I am a Christian and I always have lucid dreams. Lucid dreaming is when you are able to controll what happens in your dream. If you're having a nightmare that you're being chased by a monster you could be like "why am I running? this is MY dream, I'm going to slay that monster!"

What are the dangers of lucid dreaming?
The quality of awareness during lucid dreaming can vary greatly. Sometimes lucidity is high and you are aware that everything you are experiencing in the dream is just happening in your mind, and that there is no real danger. You may be aware that you are dreaming but maybe not enough to know that the people in your dream are just representations; or that you are actually in bed and can suffer no harm.“But everything has a risk”Multiple viewpoints and impossible stairsThere’s no evidence that lucid dreaming can bring on mental illness. In fact, lucid dreaming has recently been linked to resilience, the ability to maintain stability during and after traumatic events. Lucid dreaming is used clinically to help cope with nightmares, and is considered by many psychologists to promote psychological growth andencourage problem solving.But, is lucid dreaming safe or dangerous to attempt? The answer is that it seems to be very safe for the vast majority of those who experience it.Still, just so you know, as much as Lucid Dreaming is fun and considered an awesome experience, there are various aspects of lucid dreaming that can cause fear in people:1. Sleep paralysis – while sleep paralysis is not necessarily dangerous or unhealthy, it can be an extremely terrifying experience for people, especially if they do not know what is going on. Lucid dreamers have especially high frequencies of sleep paralysis. However, some methods more than others are known to cause this such as the WILDmethod.2. Pain in dreams – pain can occur in dreams, and fearing pain is a very reasonable concern. See this article that gives a review of pain in dreams.3. Dream Claustrophobia – many people fear becoming lucid in a dream and then becoming trapped in an unwanted dream scenario, unable to manipulate it or awaken.4. General Oneirophobia – some people just generally fear dreams, not even just nightmares or night terrors, but actually all dreams.5. Somniphobia – there is a decent amount of people who fear sleep. Actually, when I was a small child, I went through a 2-week phase where I was scared to sleep. What I found scary was the loss of awareness/consciousness that occurs during a night’s sleep cycle. Other people fear sleep for other reasons too such as fear of being attacked while asleep, or fear of not being able to wake up.Read this article for more info about lucid dreaming: The Science of Lucid Dreaming - How to Lucid Dream?

Lucid dreaming research paper?
lucid dreaming, what an interesting topic! i've read a lot about it, i'm sure you can find interesting things to talk about. i say first talk about what it is, exactly. then talk about the main guy who became obsessed with it, he wrote many books. i can't remember who he was but some names to start with Psychiatrist Frederik van Eeden, writer Celia Green, Philosopher Norman Malcolm. find the main guy, or just anyone who did research on lucid dreaming for your thesis statement. i'd find a quote or two, about lucid dreaming, maybe something he sheexplained it as or hisher goal for lucid dreaming upon discovering it. then you can talk about the ways you can get yourself/other people to lucid dream. then i would also incorporate how lucid dreaming makes some people wonder of the connection with dreaming, what it means, the spiritual connection, parallel universes, and how some people treat lucid dreaming as a strange way to see "the other side''. different people around the world view lucid dreams as meaning different things, that could be another topic..umm lucid dreaming is also tied to other strange phenomenon in the sleep state, such as people who claim to "astroproject". i've read though that in order to astroproject you have to lucid dream first, so just an extra interesting thing you could add. that's about all i can think of off the top of my head, good luck with your paper, hope i sparked some ideas!
