   Best to my knowledge, it's not made anymore. Your best luck is to scan   
   ebay & Co. -that's how I got mine (although I use it rarely meanwhile:   
   once you got used to lucid dream initiation, they come and go   
   automatically without any tools needed!)

   No -why should they? In the end, they are just dreams...   
   But as these concerns of yours are so common, I may cite from Stephen   
   LaBerge's famous book "Exploring the world of lucid dreaming":   
      
   Q. Might lucid dreaming be dangerous for some people?   
   A. The overwhelming majority of lucid dreams are positive, rewarding   
   experiences, much more so than ordinary dreams (to say nothing of   
   nightmares). Nevertheless, there probably will be some people who find the   
   experience of lucid dreaming frightening and, in some cases, extremely   
   disturbing. For this reason we cannot recommend lucid dreaming to   
   everyone. On the other hand, we are confident that for people no more than   
   "normally neurotic," lucid dreaming is completely harmless. Different   
   people will use lucid dreaming for different purposes; it makes little   
   sense to warn the typical explorer of the dream world away from lucid   
   dreaming because some might use it in a less than optimal manner.   
   If, after reading the first six chapters of this book, you still have   
   serious reservations about lucid dreaming, then we recommend that you not   
   continue. "To thine own self be true." Just make sure that it is really   
   your self to which you are being true. Don't allow others to impose their   
   personal fears on you.   
      
   HTH,   
    Kai
