Waking Life Lucid Dreamer Greeting Idea Thread (Verbal)

[fogelbise]

I think that it needs to be something that the largest number of people would be comfortable enough to say to someone they are meeting for the first time (to increase the possibility of success). The key is the matching response. It could be something natural like "(Nice) to meet you" swapped out with a word that isn't used that often, perhaps "(Splendid) to meet you." The response could be "Splendid to meet you too, interesting word choice...splendid." If you want to be sure, maybe the first person responds to the responder "deja vu." There could be a separate saying for acquaintances that you haven't discussed LDing with before, perhaps an exact, short phrase like "Whoa, deja vu." Again, the key is the matching response, maybe "It sounds like you need to unplug" (both from The Matrix). If the first person meant nothing related to LDing by using the deja vu phrase and looks at you strange with the "unplug" response, you can say "oh...your deja vu comment just reminded me of a line in the The Matrix." (you can decide from there if you want to discuss LDing at all).
