      In my opinion, the more rational, scientific and realistic Lucid Dreaming becomes, the more people will enjoy it. Why? Because a subject that has it's own sceptics takes AWAY the scepticism of the general public towards that subject, thus making them more open for it.
      I defend what I know and believe as much as I can via the internet.

      I am a seeker. I seek truth. I don't make anything up, I explore the secrets of life, I look for the truth like any rational and intelligent person. The only reason I get mad at negative criticism is because it goes against one of my major philosophies: never throw away an idea just because there is lack of evidence. Just because there is no evidence doesn't mean it isn't there, and laughing at something because its not generally accepted in our truly limited knowledge of ourselves and the cosmos is foolish, because the art of true science is the exploration and discovery of new ideas and possibilities, and the search for a greater understanding of what we are and where we came from.

      By the way, you spelled skeptic wrong...
      "The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed."
      - Albert Einstein
      "We're so engaged in doing things to achieve purposes of outer value that we forget the inner value, the rapture that is associated with being alive, is what it is all about."
      -Joseph Campbell
      "He who joyfully marches to music in rank and file has already earned my contempt. He has been given a large brain by mistake, since for him the spinal cord would fully suffice. This disgrace to civilisation should be done away with at once. Heroism at command, senseless brutality, deplorable love-of-country stance, how violently I hate all this, how despicable and ignoble war is; I would rather be torn to shreds than be part of so base an action! It is my conviction that killing under the cloak of war is nothing but an act of murder."
      -Albert Einstein

      Skeptic? Maybe that's English spelling, or American. I don't know what language my spelling-checker is, but "sceptic" has as little red bar under it as "irony".

      The Irony being, that you are being sceptic about different ways of spelling a word.

      Yeah sandform but there are a lot of people that pretty much bash beyond dreaming in a form that they mislabel skeptism so you have to be careful about your wording because people can get pretty easily defensive.

      Everything works out in the end, sometimes even badly.
