Do you think that habitual lucid dreaming can have a negative impact on the psyche?

If "normal" dreaming is a way for the subconscious to alleviate stress from waking life, then what are the implications of greater presence of your waking psyche in your sub/unconscious?

Thanks for your response! Although, with all due respect, this seems like an answer from someone with a lot of vested interest in private industry, as opposed to results.

DARPA is extremely wasteful. Huge contracts and funding with little oversight. NASA seems to be the spitting image of efficiency considering how much they accomplish with how little funding they actually get in comparison to defense funding.

If you were concerned with efficiency and results, then why not apply effort to a revamping of the inefficient aspects of gov't programs?

In all seriousness, do you think that private-industry could have outperformed NASA in the space-race of the 60's?

What are the advantages of a privatized future-tech industry, as opposed to gov't funded? Like SpaceX vs NASA..

Seems that if the US gov't is going to pay for the ships to get to the ISS through a contract with SpaceX, wouldn't it be more economical (in the long run) to just invest more in its own space-agency?
