Hello guys! I didn't know where else to post this. Could you move it to the most appropriate place if this is in the wrong subject? thanks!

Now, I am not saying by any means that the majority of people on the forum are liars. However, how can you tell that someone is telling the truth about their experiences? Or at least wildly over exaggerated their experiences? By how long this forum has been up I bet there has been some members in some point of time that did this.

This is such an easy subject where you can lie through your teeth and no one can prove you otherwise. You can say you have the most extreme lucid experiences and have wonderful in depth conversations with dream characters or entities in your dreams. You can write in your dream journal everyday even if you don't remember a thing about your dream; who is going to say you're wrong? This is simply a subject where you have to trust total and complete strangers are telling the truth.

Someone could come on today and decide "I am going to be the best lucid dreamer and dream controller in town." and can easily do it. They could gain quiet a following with people asking "How can you do it? What is your secret? without question. Then they might grow a cultist like group but only with dreams. Cultist like behavior doesn't have to involve religion at all.

Now, what do you personally think about this cloud of uncertainty hanging around this subject? I believe it really makes you think twice when you read about these sort of things. Not only on here, but it applies to books as well.
