 So this is coming from the perspective of somebody who is kind of agnostic. I don't really follow a specific religion but I do believe in a higher power and creation and that kind of thing. It's kind of a mixture of various different beliefs and philosophies combined into one so I guess I would say I'm more spiritual than religious. That being said I used to be Christian in the early part of my life simply because I was kind of brought up that way. So is lucid dreaming a sin? Is it something that you know religions frown upon and why? Well the answer to this is as far as I can see I mean it corrects me if I'm wrong please in the comments I'd love to hear what you think but as far as I can see no it can't be a sin. There is one exception to that and I'll get on to that but the basis of lucid dreaming all you're really doing is we all dream every night regardless of what religion you are even if you don't have a religion. We all dream every night so there must be some reason for that you know no matter what you believe we were created at least I believe we were created with the ability to dream and lucid dream for a very there must have been a specific reason is I don't think it's just an accident. Then the question becomes well why were we created in a way where we can lucid dream and that's an interesting debate and I don't want to get too much into that because it varies depending on which religion which philosophy you believe in but is it a sin well it can't be because what is their inner lucid dream that you could be doing wrong you're just being aware of an experience that you were already having and waking up that part of your mind you're not doing anything that could potentially be a sin according to pretty much any religious philosophy that I'm aware of at least we all dream every night so being aware of that dream while you're having it what's the harm in that right now there is one exception to this and that is to do with morality so and I've spoken about this before when you have a lucid dream you need to be pretty careful because when you decide what to do in a dream it's almost the same as deciding what to do in waking life although there's no physical consequences when you wake up there are consequences in terms of your subconscious mind it does affect you so I would say it probably would be considered a sin from a religious point of view if you had a lucid dream about doing something bad or doing something against your particular religion even though it's a dream it's and again this is a gray area there'll be people within you know most religions who agree and who disagree on this so and and also depending on the religion they will also disagree and agree with each other about this as well but in my opinion you know when you decide to do something that's when something would be a sin or not a sin so it's the act of deciding what to do if you have a dream that where you're not lucid and you do something bad let's say you steal something or you whatever if you're not lucid then know how I'm done because you're not in control of your subconscious mind as much as you'd like to be it's really just a random kind of thing you can't really control it however if you are lucid then you do have some degree of control you can to a certain degree control what you do and you can decide to either do something or to not do something so if you have a lucid dream and then you decide to go and you know have a fight with someone or kill someone or whatever in the dream as far as I'm concerned that's almost the same as doing it in real life the intention was there and the subconscious consequences will be there it will have an effect on your psyche on your subconscious mind and that memory of doing that is as real as if you had done it in waking life the memory will still be the same to your brain at least you have done the thing even if you haven't done it physically in waking life right so I hope that makes sense and please I would love to hear a huge debate in the comments from different religious perspectives about what you think about this like you know do you agree with me or do you disagree and why
