Define SIN, Deadline.

I am not being sophistic: it really is of paramount importance, and not only in terms of semantics.

If you ask me, a SIN is everything that demeans your own "godliness", if you will; everything that turns you into a force working against creation.

So in that sense: yes, of course it is possible to "sin" while lucidly dreaming. After all, the "lucid dreamer" is still YOU, right?

Some would say that seeing how your actions affect others would be better than your actions not affecting them at all.

I still think you're simply trying to excuse your over-indulgence of the imagination.

It's up to you to decide whether or not that's a good thing.

Perhaps it depends on the person - i can honestly say that i've never actually dreamt of anything along the lines of killing fluffy ducks or any other cute small creature for that matter.

Plenty of times i personally have been mauled, eaten alive, sliced, diced, crushed (that was a real bad one when i was a kid) or any other macabre obscenity on the mind that i've dreamt of though.

Is it a sin to dream of your own death?

Not last time i checked, but i know it's wrong.

Come to think of it, i haven't had any of those dreams for quite some time now - perhaps for me it depends on my mental stability...

Well, regardless - I have infact willingly harmed one person (from almost a decade ago) who i felt had slighted me in some way in my dreams, but i only went so far as breaking his nose.

Still felt bad about it afterwards though.

Like i said, it depends on the person.

Everyone dreams of things they cannot control. But...

When you KNOW that you are dreaming, and decide in your dream that you are going to carry out these actions in your current dream. Almost like a video game. Actually, perfect analogy!

Dreaming is my video game, I know what I am doing and I enjoy doing it because I know that it bears no consequence to the real world.

Criminal acts in the dream world only exist of you believe it to be so. There is no right or wrong in dreams.

I think i see what you're getting at - you feel as if because it's going on inside your head, you create the rules, that sort of thing?

Exactly

Actually, more so that there really isn't any rules. Rules dont exist in a dream, or do they?
