THANK YOU SO MUCH. and YES STICKY it. I hate how a real phenomenon such as lucid dreaming is being overcome by all the new age filth like dream signs/meanings/guides or meeting up in a dream with somone else... I find it difficult to sift through all the BS on here sometimes. But otherwise, there are some damn good guides here if you bother to search and a great forum community for the most part.
My thinking exactly. Lucidology is a thinly veiled sales scam, promoting misinformation and bad-science (as in totally made up nonsense pretending to be science).

It's a shame lucid dreaming is so often tarnished with the brush of nonsense.
It's worrying and sad that people newly interested in the subject will be mislead, fed bad information or simply lied to in order for others to make money or boost the ego of the snake-oil-salesman.

It's nice to know though, that so many lucid dreamers, like yourself suby, share the same passion and enthusiasm for lucid dreaming, and want to help promote it as a genuine, intelligent subject.

I've no problem with people speculating on theories or exploring dreams as a means to self understanding and exploration. As long as it is made clear that it is speculation or personal experimentation. It's when people muddy the water with claims of "facts" about lucidity that are false or misleading to promote their own agendas.

What's more worrying is how many people seem to have been sucked in by these style of infomercial videos. I'd always assumed most lucid dreamers were a little more discerning and thoughtful than the average Joe.
