I, too, am shocked by the few number of people who are aware of lucid dreaming. The people I've talked to about it act like I'm crazy so I have been very grateful for DV. And, then I can't shut my mouth. I start telling them it's been scientifically proven as if they're going to care about that. What I feel like saying is, "you should try it - you could use a little work on yourself!" LOL.
