Lucid Dreaming: Understanding the Risks and Benefits
The ability to control one's dreams or for the dreamer to be aware that he or she is dreaming. This process, called lucid dreaming, has some potential risks as well as many fascinating benefits. However, many people are hesitant to try it initially for fear of the potential dangers. This article aims to clarify these concerns by exploring both the risks and benefits of lucid dreaming.
The Benefits of Lucid Dreaming
Lucid dreaming allows a person to take control of their dream world, helping them overcome their fears and eliminate nightmares. This technique is particularly useful for mental health. By taking control of their dreams, individuals can face challenging scenarios in a controlled environment, which can help reduce anxiety and increase self-confidence.
Addressing Common Concerns
Physical Harm in Dreams Lucid dreaming is fundamentally safe. In a lucid dream, everything is a creation of your mind. Therefore, nothing in the dream can physically harm you. Despite the vividness and realness of the dream experience, it remains entirely within your mental landscape, posing no physical danger.
Mental Health Risks Concerns about developing PTSD or other mental illnesses from lucid dreaming are unfounded. As soon as you wake up, it's clear that the events experienced in the dream were not real. On the contrary, lucid dreaming is often seen as a therapeutic tool for conditions like PTSD, as it allows individuals to reframe and manage their thoughts.
Potential Risks of Lucid Dreaming
While generally safe, lucid dreaming does come with a few risks as well:
Mixing Dream Memories with Reality Long-term lucid dreamers might occasionally confuse dream memories with real ones, creating false memories. This issue is rare and preventable by maintaining a dream journal and avoiding lucid dreaming about real-life people or places too frequently.
Escapism Using lucid dreaming to escape reality can be problematic if it interferes with your daily life. While it is sometimes beneficial to escape and relieve the stress of reality, relying on lucid dreaming for happiness can hinder personal growth and productivity.
Feeling Tired After Lucid Dreaming Some people report feeling tired after lucid dreaming. This tiredness is not due to the dreams themselves but often results from not getting enough sleep or using techniques that disrupt sleep patterns. Taking breaks and ensuring adequate sleep can prevent this.
Mental Exhaustion Lucid dreaming can be mentally taxing if practiced excessively without breaks. It’s important to balance lucid dreaming with regular sleep to avoid mental fatigue.
Lucid dreaming is safe and beneficial if done with caution. It has many benefits, such as overcoming fear and improving mental health, and minimal risks. There are many resources and tutorials available for those interested in trying it.

This lecture created by Brandon Taylorian (aka Cometan) specially for the CESNUR Conference held Bordeaux in June 2024 provides a brief introduction to the legacy of religious and philosophical thought that Astronism emerges from, namely the discourse on transcension started assuredly by the Cosmists in Russia in the mid-to-late nineteenth century and then carried on and developed by Mordecai Nessyahu in Cosmodeism in the twentieth century. Cometan also then provides some detail on his story in founding Astronism in the early twenty-first century from 2013 along with details on the central Astronist doctrine of transcension.

Judaism was founded by Abraham around 1750 B.C.E.
Although Abraham is seen as the founder of Judaism,
his grandson Jacob, who’s name changed to Israel, was
the father of 12 children who became known as the
“children of Israel”, or Israelites. Much later, they came
to be known as the Jewish people. So Jacob was the
great, great, great, grandfather of each and every Jew.

Abraham
The father of the “Jewish people”, was Abraham.
He was the first person who entered into a convenant,
or contract with God
He was willing to sacrifice his only son with Sarah, if
God told him to. But it turned out that God did not want
him to sacrifice his son and sent a ram instead. The
respect for God’s wishes sealed the convenant.
Abraham was the first Patriarch which means “male
power figure”. Matriarch means “female power figure”,
this is where Ma and Pa came from.
7. The story of Moses
The story of Moses
When Moses was born, Israelites were slaves of Egypt.
One day he saw a slave master beating a Hebrew, and
Moses struck him in anger. He knew that the punishment
was death, so he fled into the forest. There he saw a
bush that was burned by fire, but not destroyed. When
he took a closer look, God spoke to him. God told him to
go back to Egypt, and lead his people out of slavery.
Moses went back to Egypt to tell the Pharoah, but the
Pharoah ignored him.
8. In anger God punished Egypt by sending plagues,
turning drinking water into blood, 3 days of darkness,
and finally killing all newborns. The Pharoah’s son was
killed that night and the next day, the Pharoah called
Moses, and told him to take his people and his cattle
and to leave Egypt. Moses led them into the desert for
40 years. When they arrived at Mt. Sinai, God spoke to
the Israelite’s and gave them the 10 commandments.
9. They use B.C.E ( before common era) and not B.C.
(before Christ), or A.D. (Anno Domini), which means in
the year of the Lorn, because Jews do not believe Jesus
was Christ, or the son of God.
The Jewish calendar is different because they chose
to make the beginning of their calendar creation.
Judaism is the mother religon to both Christianity and
Islam
