No it's not, unless you consider the slim possibility of scaring yourself into a heart attack. Which would be an entirely different thing in my opinion at least (But I suppose it could be possible to scare yourself that badly if you have a weak heart maybe and it would be yourself scaring yourself.) That is something different than being harmed by a thought form in you dreams. If it were I'd have been hurt many times over by now. Probably dead after all the shit I've put my dream body through and let happen to it. Anything in my dreams that thinks it can, I can only say bring it. Facing and overcoming the scary things has always been one of my favorite activities in lucidity, though it's pretty easy when I'm not scared. "Shrugs" Heck. I'm an odd type that doesn't even mind a good non lucid that is scary as hell as I enjoy the intensity of it. And the scarier it is the more likely it will trigger lucidity and the fun begins.

Laying off alcohol is always a good approach for any situation.
