You must have a very strange relationship with your parents. If my mother told me dreaming didn't exists I would not have believed her...because I had dreams. If what you're saying was true every child would have the same religious views as their parents. What age range are you talking about? It sounds like very young, but you used your 12 year old cousin to illustrate your point.

Why would you imply I have a strange relationship with my parents based on a hypothetical example? Every child, from age 4 - 13 pretty much does have the same religious views as their parents. Show me a 6, 8, 10, or 12 year old who's got differing religious views from their parents based on knowledge they've gathered on their own. And I used my 5 year old cousin as an example, so I don't know what you mean by a 12 year old, as I never mentioned one.

Apologies for that: 5 year old. But I don't think we're getting anywhere. I'm saying that as a 30 year old who has worked in the public school system I have a decent grasp of what children are capable of. You don't agree. I don't think everyone under 13 automatically believes everything their parents say. That's where my 'strange relationship' comment came from. Did you really just accept everything your parents said before you were 13? Were you home every day before dark so the strangers wouldn't take you home? Did you never lie cause they told you not to? Were you nice to everyone cause that's the Golden Rule? I can say from MY experience- No. Nor is that what I have seen.

I'll just agree to disagree. You want to say you're from a line of "natural" lucid dreams? Okay. The titles you give to yourself dont' effect me. It's not any worse than the Nomad crowd explaining how they battled off a dream-stalker with their totem katana.


...However I would like to point out that I come from a long line of werewolves. We were watching the Wolfman the other day and I said "Hey- I do that." And my dad was like "I've only done it a few times." But my grandpa was like "I do it 10-15 times a month." I guess werewolfyness skips a generation, like most made-up talents.
