Is it true that practicing lucid dreaming causes death?
Unclear. No retrieved source reports death or fatal risk from practicing lucid dreaming. Two peer-reviewed items describe lucid dreaming practice as therapeutic or performance-enhancing, with only non-fatal clinical drawbacks noted, so the evidence at most partially counters the claim rather than settling it.
