That sounds like it's either kind of cowardly, or else they aren't really skeptics and their challenges are just BS to be used for trolling. A true skeptic would want to facilitate their challenge in the hopes that the truth would disprove paranormal claims. But how to tell, for any given skeptic, whether it's dishonesty or an irrational fear of the world knowing the slightest thing about them?
Then it occurred to me earlier this week, while watching the Heavy Metal episode of South Park, that what is needed is to create as a group- A shared dreaming dreamscape. Someplace neutral where the minds of the dreamers can meet, if shared dreaming can be made to work at all.
I do not mean role playing or pretending about dreaming of such a place. I mean actual lucid dreamers really using their lucid dreaming skills to locate themselves into the shared dreamscape. And then taking note of any interactions with dream characters, who may or may not turn out to be other LDers.
To cut down on random factors, this shared dreamscape should not be a real place. And it should not be a place already in the popular imagination. But beyond that, I don't know what would work best.
