Internet posers do get tired of the game eventually, but new ones always come along to take their place. And it's especially a pity about something like this, because if not for them, real knowledge could be gained from it.Quote:

PS: I wouldn't waste energy trying to "expose" anyone who isn't really able to LD. Who really cares? Just be thankful that you can do it! I think it would be more fun to set the same task for everyone and compare results purely as an interest activity. If you do it with the purpose of exposing phonies then you actually involve them in the forum and they are more likely to stay.
Well Ho-ly- Sheit.Quote:

How can you say that I or anyone else don't have lucid dreams based on this thread?
I think you're a bit of a (okay, a total) control freak... and what's up with this Narcissistic complex that makes you the only true lucid dreamer?
If you're so paranoid as to think that this site is full of people who have nothing better to do than pretend they have lucid dreams, why waste your time here? This place isn't about bragging about who has the most LDs... if you actually look around, you'll see that most people admit they have trouble having LDs, and they're here looking for help... not someone to tell them they're inferior.
You've proved yourself a controlling know-it-all, and what's more, an irrational hot-head... I don't see the connection between me posting the information you were sending to everyone and the conclusion that we are all faking lucid dreams. It's not a matter of telling everyone your stupid game so we can collaborate and convince some anonymous prick across teh intertoobs that we genuinely have LDs... it's a matter of seeing what this little charade is all about, which is obviously nothing but a game to inflate your ego some more.
I can't speak for anyone else, but I certainly won't miss you when you decide you leave us "fibbers" for a more genuine forum.
If you want people to blindly indulge your every whim, you're looking for a cult, not a forum. The idea here is the free exchange of ideas, which includes calling bullshit on, well, bullshit like this.
He just wants to try and use DV to expand on his group. I think using the liar approach is just a ploy to try and get people to do his tasks for him.
I think you guys should read through some of his other threads and posts before deciding to spend any of your valuable Lucid time on him.
Because the words we are supposed to shout are a bit unusual I'm going to have to practise saying them aloud over the course of the day in order to remember them, which may affect the result I get in my dream. I've written them on a piece of paper which I will carry around today and pull out every time I do a RC. No doubt I will get some very strange looks from members of the public lol!!!
What is DV?
Well, even though I definitely have bigger priorities to achieve in my LDs (especially since I'm not achieving much lucid time at the moment) I'm gonna try it coz it only takes a few seconds. Plus, it's really important for me to keep doing things when I become lucid otherwise I tend to wake up.
THANK YOU! You said exactly what I was thinking, QFT. What kind of game are you playing, arne?Quote:

Thanks Caradon. Seems so obvious it's Dream Views lol!
OMG I just read some of your dream journal and I am sooooo jealous. Your dreams are amazing! Especially the one where you consciously changed your entire environment. That is unbelievable control. You lucky thing :-)
Since it's ruined anyway now, could you explain your reasoning on how you would have determined who was fibbing? I'm still curious and that was why I asked to try it in the first place anyway.Quote:

As others have said, it seems odd that you believe can arbituarily decide whether or not we are lying about our Lucids (which, as others have said, why would you?) Calling the person who posted the question "afraid that you would unmask him" also seems a bit rash, no?
That being said, the idea and challenges you put forth have interest and validity, but the idea that one person should singlehandedly "unmask fibbers" through them seems a bit strange.
And it's not just Mad Hatter and the Anonymous troll. Several other people PMed their task to each other, after I had specifically asked them not to do that. They unmasked themselves as Liars Club members too.
But Mad Hatter has never had an LD in his life. You can take that to the bank.
This is hilarious.Quote:

EDIT: PS, can a mod IP check him, just in case?
And as far as "catering to my every whim" is concerned -- if you agree to take part in a task, then you also have agreed not to turn the board over and riun it.
Only a liar would need to have that pointed out to him.
That's a rather bold assumption. I don't see the connection between sharing the task and being a liar, having had no Lucid Dreams. Although you have a right to be unhappy for them breaking "the rules," making outlandish claims like that are pointless.Quote:

Please use logic, not fallacies and attacks.
What's next? "People with image sigs don't have LDs?"
a) you caught me... :oops: boy is my face red. I wasted so many years reading these forums and pretending I have had all of a dozen or so lucid dreams, just to impress these total strangers, only to have you unmask me so easily. ALL I WANTED WAS FOR YOU GUYS TO LOVE AND ACCEPT ME AND YOU RUINED THAT ARNE! YOU RUINED ME! I HATE YOU I HATE YOU I HATE YOU, YOU BIG STINKY POOPYNOGGIN!Quote:

Other Arne gems from these very forums...
He's been on the liar kick since atleast June 20th, 2008:
"Men just tend to be bigger liars about it. If a young male has a screen name like "Lucid Master," he's probably never had an LD.
And people who say that LDs are all fun are lying too. LDs are just as apt to be unpleasant as ordinary dreams are." (found here)
Also, Arne seems to think Dreams are reality, and that killing/fighting a dream character in a dream is just as evil and wicked as murdering a person in reality (found here)
"And to the person who said that it's "just a fictional situation" -- even if that's true, which I don't acknowledge, then you're an ass for wanting to hurt something. Why do you want to do that?"
Also, check out the very next page of that thread, where he equates fighting a dream character to waterboarding a real, live human being... where he also says that "More than a few people people have said that they have lucid dreams all the time, but when they've join my group, that ability has mysteriously disappeared."
There's that good ol' elitism again. We're all faking unless we join his group... and even then, we're faking still until we learn to do it his way.
About that group of his, the description explains a lot:
"This is not a group where members post. Instead, members receive tasks from the moderator to carry out in lucid dreaming. They report their experiences to him."
There's that control freak thang again. You guys should really check out that thread in it's entirety, it's full of gems like this one:
"Let me ask again -- do you torture and kill women and children in your dreams? Or is it only men?"
Here he is with the whole "message me and i'll tell you how to do it" thing again, because a forum is a dumb place to post ideas, and I need to initiate you into my group on one-way communication.
At this point, you may be asking what it is about the Great Arne's dreams that make them so much superior than ours? Well you can find the reason here:
"Probably not, because LDs don't last long enough for you to give very much of a talk, and they occur too unpredictably. Also it tends to be hard to remember something like a speech when you have an LD."
Because, as he says on June 21st: "The fact that some little creep invariably finds this thread and drags it back up every few weeks says something terrible about the kind of people who are attracted to this web site.
Most of them have probably never had a lucid dream in their lives anyway."
oh yeah, he also says this there:
"The question is, why does this web site attract people like you and the other juvenile creeps who have posted their sick fantasies in this thread?"
I dunno, Arne, why does this site attract people like you, who are clearly far superior to us, and cause them to stick around for 9+ months to tell us how much we all lie and fake LDs?
If you need any other proof that this kid is a joke/troll/hack or a Hack of a Joking Troll, search for posts he's made... I found all of this and more just in the first page of eleven+ that appear when searching for his posts.
********
Anyway, back to the topic at hand...
I think what he's getting at, by his clearly mentally illness related lack of distinction between reality and dreams is that this Cynthia girl would give us all a specific definition, and anyone who got a different answer than his was a liar.
Arne, I see that you've been here since atleast February, if not longer, insisting that we're all faking... well if you're having real lucid dreams that are so much better than our "fibs", why are you wasting your time here with us instead of dreaming your life away in Utopia?
**FOR MORE INFORMATION ON arne saknussemm, CHECK OUT HIS BLOG: http://www.ponens.blogspot.com/** It tells us that he's from Los Angeles, which explains why he is so superior to us petty mortals ;)
Anyone else starting to think that Arne is really the one who's never had an LD in his life, and he's projecting that on to us because he feels like such a failure?
and for fuck sake, in arne's own words: "Anyone who had shit for brains would let this thread die a natural death instead of dragging it back up every few weeks."
Well all I can say is... I personally don't give a fat rat's crack who else is having or not having lucid dreams. So long as I'm having them I'm happy lol!
I don't see the big deal. He wants to do an "experiment", let him. If you don't want to participate, don't. It doesn't make anyone look any better than he by attacking him. If anything, you (general) look just as bad, if, indeed he is a troll or whatever you all call them.
At first, I was all like 'what an idiot' because it pissed me off he was trying to call people liars. I sat back, thought about it and realized, what is the big deal? I know I don't lie, so I'm not going to get all huffy and puffy. I think those who are getting all riled up are either insecure, or want to prove something, what? I have no clue. If anything, just ignore him. Why stir up anything? I never understood that on message boards. I guess people are bored, and want entertainment.
Anyone who was capable of doing the task would have just tried to do it, instead of engaging in all that treachery.
And you thought I couldn't catch you!
