Thread: What to do when you meet people not interested in Lucid dreaming?

The issue here though is that most people probably would be very interested in lucid dreaming if they actually gave it a chance, so it's slightly frustrating when they ignore the subject right form the start.
I can honestly not imagine why anyone would not feel interested in something as fantastic as lucid dreams, it is like a world simulation where you can fulfill your wildest desires, overcome phobias, stop nightmares, and even develop as an individual, without any negative waking life consequences whatsoever (and this should be of particular interest to those who complain about "sleeping 1/3 of their lives away").
So, what is there not to like?

I usually get around this by carefully mentioning lucid dreaming-related stuff to people when they have started a conversation about dreaming anyway;
talking about "the dreams from last night" seems relatively common.
However, I instantly drop the subject if I get the usual "ah okay, now please talk about something else" type of response.
