2. 5 sentences will not do. And they may get discouraged if they don't get lucid on the first try.

It's not an accident that tutorials are longer than few sentences. Lucid dreaming is not done by following few steps and bam, you get a lucid dream. Someone could follow few steps, but that would be only after he reads and understands the what's and why's. And even then, those few steps may work for some, but not for others. Lucid dreaming is not math, it's an art.

So if I may suggest, have your friends come here, make a few posts, read a ton and we would be happy to help them out. But if someone has no interest, it will not work.

Good luck anyway, it's always good to be thinking of new ways of making this more approachable to rest of the population.

Um, Gab my dear, that was something like 12 sentences
