there are a lot of people, not so much on here, that tie lucid dreaming into all sorts of things that worried mothers WOULD find Satanic though.
if you go over to www.astralpulse.com and have alook at their forums, many many many people belive in energy vampirism, believe that gemons, ghosts, etc (called “negs”) lurk in OBEs, and sometimes LDs, waiting to screw with your mind and energy.
Some people there believe they are being stalked by said entities, sometimes they think they are government “psi ops” etc…
it’s VERY MUCH a placebo effect, just reading that forum used to give me encounters with said “negs” so…
I can see how someone can construe lucid dreaming (especially when reffered to as OBE or AP) as something “Satanic”
frankly I think OBE, AP, LD, they’re all the same, just with different methods of entry, but, at any rate…
it wouldn’t be a good idea to have her read forums, even these, there are the occasional demon, vampire, whatever posts, posts about having gratuitious sex with anything it walks (something I’m guilty of) and going on killing sprees, etc… all sorts of “immoral” things that people use LDs to indulge in.
Lucid dreaming can be indulgent and “sinful” as much as it can be rewarding, englithening, and tranquil, and spiritual.
It’s just an exploraiton of the self really… but… she might be worried about you having tons of sex or something…
not that you don’t have sex dreams while un-lucid anyway… but…
you know, i wouldn’t really steer her to the forums, she’ll ask you what you want to do in your dreams and stuff, and get invasive on your privacy, and read your posts, probably.
oh yes and Satanism as a RELIGION has nothing to do with Satan really, it’s a mockery of God, the Bible, etc, including the aspect of there being a Satan, as Satan is basically just a metaphor for the evil of HUMANITY… itself… it’s kind of an indulgent form of humanism and does not endorse murder and sacrifices, etc.
there are crazy people that DO worship Satan though, and perform “satanic” rituals, which are not to be confused with “occult” rituals, which have nothing to do with any notion of the being “Satan” (i guess it depends in particular on what rituals you are reasearching…)
