Okay - I'm up for it, shadowofwind - I wasn't really interested, since I wouldn't be convinced by the examples you have brought up in the past.
Including the precognitive dreams.
But of course - I have nothing to loose - you are hereby officially invited to visit my dreams!

How would I know, that you've been there?
Edit:
I've just been talking with my husband about it, and I said, that there would be a level of extraordinariness, which could convince me, that what might happen is not some sort of artefact. He found it silly of me to even think about it. Thinking is cheap, though - and why not while I wait and see.
In theory, I should say - it is still more probable, that somewhere deep in my mind, there is bit of a hope left - a latent wish, that there is something mythical about the world and curiosity and whatnot - and that this is, what could produce even such an exceptional experience.
I actually don't think, you would even claim to be able to cause an effect, which a total sceptic like me would accept, though.
Or better - which would seriously spark my curiosity first of all.
There could be other things of an equal power, but the actual example I brought to my husband was - have a lucid dream tonight, and a clearly autonomous DC shows up, identifies as you and we engage in some sort of information exchange.
That doesn't sound much - no password and lala - but a lot on the other hand - I'm not getting lucid lately, and DCs tend to be rather vague as well, if I do.
As said - maybe something non-lucid - but then it gets in muddy water.
And it had to be repeatable.
Thing is - everything somehow weak, would surely not lead me to throw out of the window large parts of what the scientific community and me consider our knowledge of nature, and my understanding of the world. So the motto goes: Extraordinary claims ask for extraordinary evidence.
I will always ask myself, if I could simply be subject to psychological effects first - and extensively - and maybe down to ask some experts.
But if I really were convinced - I would have found my purpose in life, actually - find out, what that was.
And if I came to see it as some sort of powerful and hopefully benign dream-madness - then I want to know, what that means.
Weell - I sort of see what my husband means as well - I will wait - but I have no hope, except it hides very, very deep.
Can't help that, it has to work without - I'm just being honest.
Ramble.. sorry.
My whole point should maybe have been - the boundaries of what I believe in, are not clearly defined and not clearly definable, even..
What I will do is report what will happen completely and honestly - as far as my not so great dream-recall enables me (good way to practise, too).
Would it be different - like easier - if I was lucid on my own devices? Would an encounter with you make me lucid?
Do I remember correctly, that what classically is meant by SD, is not exactly the way you do it?
It's sort of exciting - I can see the fun in it, too, actually!
I just really honestly think, people are wasting their time.
Not that I am happy with myself in that regard - maybe hence the motivation to care..
