If I am paranoid, then it is because I have something solid to be paranoid about.

Think about it. One of the most popular genres of Books being sold world wide are these Self Help Books, and the Best Sellers of this genre of Books are those very books which instruct people on how to lie in order to 'make friends and influence people'.

And so we have it that so many of our 'best friends' just so happen to be better at Lucid Dreaming then we are who are the actual enthusiasts. But how is that at all likely?

You should all consider that if so many books instructive on the arts of lying and deception are being sold, then it only figures that somebody out there must be reading them.
