well, I'm not sure that would be effective. The reality check stuff, at least. The chances of a lucid dreamer who knows what RCing is finding that and having not heard of DV is pretty slim

I can totally see something like "Have you ever had a dream where you knew you were dreaming?" "Did you know you could teach yourself to do this?" (although that sounds like a cheesy advertisement for something ridiculous) working though! I like this idea. I like it a lot

Well, I left my first origami crane with DreamViews advertisement on it at IHOP this Saturday. I'm going to start carrying paper in a pocket and making origami while I wait for my food at restaurants. I wrote, "Have you ever had a dream in which you knew you were dreaming?" on one wing, with an arrow pointing to the other wing, where I wrote, "Check out www.DreamViews.com (Lucid Dreaming Community)." I signed the tail, "~Man of Steel" and wrote little things like, "Are You Dreaming?" "Reality Check!" and "Happy Dreams..." on the sides of the neck and tail.

I left it on top of the tip money, and the waiter seemed like the kind of guy who might check it out, so who knows. I'm going to keep doing this. I'll take a picture of the next one.

Woot, this is awesome

I need to learn some origami skills. I'm planning on going out of town this weekend, so I need to DV-plug it up

It's really, really easy. Check out these links:

I tend to make mine a little fancier, for added realism, but that's the basic crane. Notebook paper works fine,, long as it's square.

Awesome, thanks

I think I'm gonna make one, write out where stuff should be written, then scan it and pretty it up in photoshop with font so that all you have to do is fold

Now THAT is an amazingly awesome idea. I wish I had a printer that worked.

You say that now, but when I'm found to be operating an underground origami production ring out my basement, I don't wanna be the one to explain it.

**Man of Steel** · 01-23-2009 12:01 PM

Hhahahahaa!!!

I'd vouch for you.

**eppy** · 01-24-2009 06:49 PM

I'm going to start leaving paper with the website URL in places or do the oragami thing

I got stuck halfway through my crane. I need a video or something, the diagrams make no sense to me whatsoever. I wish you more luck than I had

haha

**eppy** · 01-24-2009 09:59 PM

haha. I couldn't do it either :/ But I looked online and now I can make a swan and a bat

**Man of Steel** · 01-25-2009 05:38 AM

I shall have to show you sometime, Shift. Though if you Google it you can find videos, I learned everything from books. I have three or four.

Hey that is pretty damn cool!

**slayer** · 04-21-2009 05:31 AM

How's this? I figured I'd give it a nice simple and clean look...

The black line is just to show the separation of the front and back. It can be easily edited out.

Wow, I read this thread through from start to finish O.o

Haha, I'm loving the idea of leaving random notes around with the URL on it. and origami, thats awesome

Are any actual business cards going to be made? or are we advancing into other ways of advertising now?

**Kamilii** · 07-21-2009 12:20 AM

I really like slayers.

**Supernova** · 07-21-2009 12:55 AM

just found this...it's a great idea. I just finished a graphic design course in school before the break, so I'll make some up. anyone think of other media, stickers, small (8.5x11) posters maybe?
