This is my normal feeling with videos like this. When it comes down to it, the ability to lucid dreaming is mostly based on firsthand experience and practice. I normally support anything that motivates people to try.

My problem with the videos is that they present false information and claim it is a summary of all the information out there. The presenter says, "Don't read all these books on lucid dreaming. I'll just sum it up for you for four easy payments of $19.95." Then he proceeds to present crap he just made up.

It is one thing to describe your personal system for becoming lucid. We all have quirky things that work for us as individuals. It is another to make it seem like it is a summary of accepted knowledge.

I don't want to dis the guy too much. I'm glad he is spreading the word about lucid dreaming. I also know how hard it is to simplify this subject. You have to make your advice practical, without oversimplifying it to the point of it becoming false. I wonder if he has an account on DV. I would like to hear his side. I feel bad having everyone attack him.
