And LDing was a cult that Cartman got sucked into. :P

Can you imagine what South Park could do to us? Look what they did with World of Warcraft, Ocean's [insert number here], and Brittany Spears alone? With something that is already considered a cult by some, South Park could rip on LDing as hard as they want. Who's going to stop them if they do an episode on it?
Digression over, nothing to see here. Disperse!
I agree with you.Quote:

Well, it looks like that movie's at least about dreaming and controlling your thoughts (and presumably dreams as well). I doubt they'll actually use the term "lucid dreaming" though. Still, my guess is that we'll get more people who are interested in controlling dreams, assuming the movie is a hit.
Never seen South Park. o.0
Off topic: Mario, when did you get 2000+ posts? o.o
Sesquipedalian is a person who uses big words.Quote:

Lets hope the creators never find out about lucid dreaming. We would get people coming on the site asking us why we think we can control our dreams, thinking we are completely mad. :(Quote:

I was like, wow I was so jealous. She could even control them and everything, so it was cool to actually be able to talk to someone about Lucid Dreaming, and not being treated like a weirdo.
One of my friends is like that. I think I mentioned her earlier in this thread, but w/e, I'll repeat myself. =P Anyway, she mostly likes talking about NL dreams because she thinks that lucid ones are boring...Quote:

Nevermind you guys, we are the chosen ones. :boogie:Quote:

That would be awesome. :banana:Quote:

It doesn't appear to be specifically about lucid dreaming, more about entering people's dreams, and that somehow goes wrong (because otherwise there would be no movie).
After being into parkour for so long, this sounds just like what I'd hear my friends say, except Stephen LaBerge would be David Belle. XDQuote:

And when I wake, the first thing I do - before checking my phone, before getting out of bed - I started frantically scribbling in my notebook. XD
Has anyone else taken their lucid dreaming practices over to a friend's house? Did they treat you any differently, like the parents of the OP of this thread had treated them like it was a cult?
I have! I was sleeping over at my best friend's house and I wanted to WBTB... and so I did. I do that by setting an alarm, which of course meant that she was forced to do one too. She didn't mind much because she knows I'm not a nutcase and she figured she could just go right back to sleep after turning off the alarm. She was the one who became lucid that night.Quote:

Yeah, I had lots of friends to do it with, made it much more fun to be able to focus on what I was doing and not looking over my shoulder while around school, checking to make sure no one was staring or anything. 'Course, in all my experiences, people are more amazed and interested than critical or ignorant of what you're doing, so.... :PQuote:

I actually found out that one of my little brother's friend's mom (it probably would have been simpler to say one of my friends or a family friend) knows about lucid dreaming. I was so excited when she mentioned it! I told her that I'd learned how to do it a year ago, but she didn't seem to believe that she could also learn it. I need to get better at telling people briefly how to induce lucidity. I briefly told her about reality checks and that was all; I just don't want to go on for hours about WILD vs DILD and dream recall and reality checks and MILD and DEILD and... yeah, I could go on for quite awhile.
Well, if your friends are also interested in trying LDing, they probably wouldn't mind being woken up too much. :D
