Thread: How can you tell someone is telling the truth about their lucid dreams?

My thought is that mostly the people who really spend a lot of time in this place and invest themselves in it aren't going to lie - unless they're compulsive liars or something and can't help it. I think it would mostly just be people who post occasionally or for a little while and then disappear. After you get to know somebody fairly well and talk to them regularly you can tell if they're not being honest by the way they respond to things or the way they present themselves. As for people who only post a few times - especially if they have fantastic stories and don't seem to want to answer questions about it, I don't give them much credence. People have to earn trust, and you don't do that in a few posts.

It is quite possible though that some compulsive liars or narcissists or something similar might have made this place their online home. I suppose there would be an added bonus since as you say dreams are impossible to prove or disprove - you just have to take somebody's word for it. And people do have a tendency to compartmentalize their weirder beliefs and practices away from the normal stuff, so a person could well present themselves as quite friendly and honest in here while making up incredibly blatant lies about their dreams. I suppose there's no way to know really..

Lol sorry, I was no help at all, was I?
