I don't think that's how they view it. I think most of the worry comes from the fact that people say that their brain does things that theirs doesn't, so they presume it to be a deviation from the norm and this bad/harmful/unnatural/etc

honestly ppl, if you are having this much trouble refer em to the wikipedia page on lucid dreaming- even a religious/superstitious person won't argue with wikipedia.

Erhem. Everyone knows religion is blind. At least to science, as someone was saying above. The way I see it, if your parents are going to ignore the facts, their opinion is worthless.

I completely agree, and I'll clarify by adding that when facing a fear, especially based on the unknown or something not familiar, that the more you know about it the less you'll fear, especially if there is nothing to fear in the first place.

Hehe, I've had skeptics tell me Wikipedia is just a red herring lol... Which in some cases it might be, but it's a great window into more research.

Maybe you can tell your parents you just can't help the way your dreams are, and that it would help if you all sat down and looked into it together. At the very least they'll come to the realization that you're not a fluke and there are (many) others out there experiencing the same thing and taking advantage of it.
