Turin, The article was not posing the question "Should one Dream?" That seems to be where you are directing it. The article was addressing more the question of control as in "Should you control your dreams?"
I speed browsed the article. One of the concerns seems to be that "controlling" dreams might interfere with a natural healthy process of the subconscious to promote healing and solutions to subjects' problems that is really beneficial in waking life. This question seems to be being raised by those who do not "dream lucidly". They also appear to have a vested interest in "solving" the "patients'" problems through traditional dream therapy.
There are much more pressing concerns regarding Dreaming that could be discussed that this article is not able to draw close to, especially in a forum such as this. DJ spent a lot of time warning DJ about the dangers of Dreaming and considering it as something like a vivid dream. Then as we saw with CC in TAOD we have the question of his "friends" the inorganics and the dangers they pose. Not to mention the overall aim of Dreaming as interpreted in various manner by individuals familiar with Dreaming.
