If your goal is not only detect fellow LDers, but inform people - the approach would be different and there are a lot of nice things to say.

Buut: If somebody said "Live Lucid and Prosper" - even like that in Germany - the LDers would get it - esp. if you make a pronunciation to go with the "live" that invites to ponder that dreaming is included in living - and that somebody announcing lucid living in Spok-ish, surely does LD as well..
And those who do not - at the worst think you are a presumptuous hobby philosopher.

I actually think, simply the use of the word lucid alone in common tongue will tip of others - at least as in go cryptic back on you.
I hardly ever read it clearly "off topic".

In German - I might do it like this:

The word is Klar-Traum - with klar meaning clear basically. But klar can also be used as "of course" - like clearly also can.
If I give a bit of an off emphasis on it - I could say - Klar kann man träumen.
Clearly one can/one is allowed to dream.
Dreaming would be mainly understood as in making ambitious plans/daydreaming to the un-initiated..
Hehe conspiracy talk from my mouth - cheers Nomad..wink.gif
