Cut Down The Tension
Dreaming is a wonderful alternative to simply knocking the problem about. When a person dreams whether it is intended or just happens the outcome can be very refreshing.
Some people are motivated after a session of dreaming and come out with confidence and the ability to better concentrate on the task at hand.

Some Hints
In intending to practice lucid dreaming correctly, there are several things to note. It is important to have the right frame of mind when attempting this process. Through the process of developing the ability to lucid dream, one must be aware of the fact that, the interaction between the thought process and belief system is of importance.

Chapter 10: Cautions To Lucid Dreaming
Synopsis
Like any other forms of therapy, lucid dreaming does have its good and bad points. Though not all would agree that the "bad" points are really bad. While there are yet others who are totally against this lucid dreaming experience, and completely disagree with its relevancy.
What You Have To Know
In trying to address some of the concerns, these are some of the points brought up by the various groups involved either directly or indirectly in the lucid dream phenomena.
The most point of concern is whether the dreamer of the lucid dream can or is able to control the dream content with clear expectations. Even in the natural most people are really unaware of the extent of the expectations while awake or asleep, so to assume that the dreamer has a full understanding of this is really not very probable.
