need to actually start like trying to LD i've pretty much started that now kinda.
You know, there are friends and there are friends. Sometimes 'friends' simply want to zero in on exactly one's most vulnerable spot just for the fun of watching one squirm. Does this mean that your friend really does Lucid Dream every night, or does it mean your friend just says this in order to screw with your head? |
|
One of my friends also has this ability. Allmost all of his dreams are lucids, and i really trust him about that, he's not the type that lies about stuff like that. |

Leo, I think your being a bit parinoid |

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

I think I agree with Leo because I have a friend who used to lie constintly about anything said in a conversation. Weather it was a movie or a skateboard trick or really anything at all he would just say yea I saw that and yea I can do that. I don't think he had anyother reason to lie rather then to talk but I think Leo was right with the to screw with your head thing it makes a lot of sence. |

So, Leo - are you saying that you think anyone who says anything in general is lying just because there are self-help books available that can teach you to manipulate people? I think you are being paranoid. Not to say that the one particular friend mentioned in the first post may not be lying, but I think you're jumping to conclusions about people you don't even know. For all you know, this person may have lucid dreams every night - who are we to call them a liar right off the bat?? |

Leo, You've convinced me. |

most people lie at least sometimes in order to impress, or appeal to, people. personally, i used to do it quite often, until i realized a friend of mine did the same thing. after not being able to know for sure whether he was lying or speaking truthfully, i decided i didn't want to be deceptive. |

Hmmm very interesting Leo, I your story about the spiritual traditions being lied about and research by those who do not truly believe and or act out such actions somewhat sad, obviously(or you may just be lieing very well |

Leo, I agreed with you that many books do in fact do what you propose. |

I used to lie to people all the time about stuff just so they would shut up, such as them saying "hey did you see that movie that came out yesterday" and i would think to myself, if i answer yes it was good and just nod and laugh about scenes they bring up and say they are funny then this topic should last a good 5-10 seconds, or if I say no i havnt seen it and i dont plan to (the truth) then they would most likely feel inclined to tell me all about the movie and tell me loads of reasons why i should see it, taking around 30 seconds to a minute of just them talking, then i would think "less listening" and tell them i had seen it and that had settled that boring topic in a few seconds... |

when i read the title i thought you did something like this: |

As I am sure there are many people that do feel the need to lie about stuff like this..I am not one of them. |
|
I think the most popular self help book is The Bible, not quite as accurate as the other ones thou. |

My son-in-law clams to have lucid dreams all the time. I questioned him on it with questions such as, how do you know you’re aware you are dreaming. He would say stuff like, if I can walk threw walls and similar effects. I have to admit I believed him for the time being but after reading Leo’s posts I think I’ll take little more skepticism into account before questioning him again. A list of pointed questions would be helpful if someone can come up with some good ones. Then we could report back with the results. |

What ever happened to giving people the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise? Everyone is turning into skeptics and don't trust anyone or anything. I know there are liars and bad people out there, but there are just as many honest and good people. I wouldn't take Leo's novel-sized posts very seriously because I think he tries to make his points sound legitimate by fancy word-play and long-winded replies. Playing devil's advocate is important for the development of discussion, but not necessarily words to live by. |
