You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink.

I feel for you, but unfortunatelly, that's the case with many of us. The few people I told about my "secret" were not laughing at me just because they were trying to be polite, one person told me I perhaps lost it, my mom is affraid for me. Only my best friend was supportive, but not interested in hearing any more about it.

Don't feel bad, because you were judged by ignorant people. That doesn't make you experiences any less cool and special.

LDs and OBEs had changed my life and view of the world and universe over one single night. If someone who didn't experience what I have (and what you did) and has no idea about the whole thing laughs at me, so be it. It can't offend me, if someone with less experience laughs at me. Does it hurt? Sure. Maybe one day they "discover" what you already know now and they will understand then. But not before.
