First I need to define a lucid dream since many probably don't know what they are. A lucid dream is a dream in which you know that you are dreaming. They generally begin as normal dreams and become lucid due to some event or events in the dream that you may or may not remember (the event(s) may not be rational at all). In a lucid dream, since you know that you are dreaming, you can take control of your actions just as you do in everyday life. However, since you are in a dream (and you know it), you are freed from legal responsibilities including government laws and the physical laws that govern the universe as we know it. However, I'm quite certain that we aren't free from moral responsibilities in our lucid dreams (and possibly not even in our normal dreams, though that is certainly debatable). I should add that your freedom from physical laws is limited (Matrix style) by your brain being used to being limited by physical laws. So, you might find it extremely difficult or impossible to take off flying. However, it shouldn't be too difficult to imagine something in your head that is out of your view (say behind you) then turn around and see it there. It would be more difficult to imagine something appearing out of thin air right before your eyes though.
I've only had two lucid dreams in my life, both occured in December, and both while I was Christian (I became Christian for about six months in the second half of 1999 and again in the second half of 2002 -- I'm a Christian now of course). If my lucid dreams were tests, then I utterly failed the first (a sign of things to come since I would not consider myself a Christian within a few months), and passed the second with flying colors (I have a much stronger faith now).
Anyway, how many lucid dreams (if any) have you had, and what do you think about accountability in normal dreams and lucid dreams? Also, if you've had lucid dreams, discuss, if you'd like, what you did in them or just the general nature of lucid dreams if there's anything I didn't hit upon or anything you have to add. I'd rather not discuss the details of mine though.
As for accountability, I think that lucid dream accountability is obvious given that you have free will in those dreams, but we might be accountable for our normal dreams as well since they tend to mimic the fabric of our waking lives to an extent. I'm not decided on that one.
