Why not frequent forums tailored for geniuses such as yourselves, where the playing field is more advanced, and the members more capable of effectively challenging you? Personally, if I ever started believing that I was one of the smartest individuals on a forum, then I would hopefully leave that forum and search for more intelligent discussion elsewhere. I mean, how do we learn without raising the bar?

(I'm not saying I want anyone to leave, I'm just curious about what keeps you here.)

For me, it is not a matter of intelligence, it is about finding a kindred spirit. Lucid dreaming is no accident--there are many pretenders here, they could not tell the difference between a lucid dream and a wet dream.

Lucid dreams are for a purpose, and like any language many can only use it by rote, I am looking for someone special. I really do want to help save the world--wooden sword, windmills and all.

It is like walking through muddy water, hell you have no idea what your going to step on.
