Lists like this are the absolute worst of the worst of lucid dreaming misinformation, and it demonstrates a lack of proper understanding of how dreams are influenced. All lists like this serve to do is to create negative associations between arbitrary actions and negative results for complete beginners who don't know better in a world where one's perception of their experience determines the outcome. There's nothing at all whatsoever wrong with mirrors for example. With all of these things, it all works off your perception. The spinning one, oh my god that is horrible. You're going to wake up? You might enter sleep paralysis? That's bs. What happens is what you perceive that you will experience. Stabilizing also isn't necessary as lucid dreams aren't inherrently unstable. You can also commit acts of violence in lucid dreams without messing up your mental state. Oh, and there's absolutely a difference between doing something in a dream and doing it in waking life. First off, it's a dream, and if you're lucid, you're aware that it's a dream, so the same level of import doesn't attach to actions. Second of all, circumstances matter. It's more like a video game than waking life. The circumstances and intent do matter here. The only one I really agree with here is the last one, but thoughts alone aren't enough, just one part of our perceptions. On the whole, videos like this contain primarily misinformation and are not helpful.
