Thread: Should We Get The Word Out?

If it is then id predict a flood of users therefore bad news so maybe if anyone has the resources make another forum with basic tutorials and many posts from here cut into it or just articles of info made up.

I wouldn't mind making something regarding Astral Projection or the likes.

I would agree with you Xisdence. I don't feel the need for the sight to be mentioned. Anyone who will find it that interesting will likely find it anyhow.

I agree exactly with what you said Howetzer. If they feel the need to know more they will soon find they're way her, i did

I don't think people should "know" about lucid dreaming (this topic is about getting the word on lucid dreaming out isn't it?). People who would want to ACTUALLY practice lucid dreaming eventually learn about it. Most people just ignore you if you tell them about it. And when someone does find out about it, they will eventually choose to try it or not so it all works out. And I also think that if a lot of people knew about it and practiced lucid dreaming than the skill wouldn't feel as valuable.

What about people that live in some country like Ghana or such, were they don't have the facilitator of the internet or t.v or such. The only way they can learn about LDing is to hear about it from other people. There is a possibility that although someone would like to know about LDs, they will never learn about them...

Also, who cares if everyone does it? I don't LD to feel special...

I think that I feel strong about this subject because of the way that I was introduced. I live in Ohio and I am thirty two years old. I am know brain surgeaon but I considered myself to be a fairly well rounded person as when comes to general knowlede. ------I heard of Lucid dreaming just under two years ago. 30 years old. I could not believe it. Then when I had an LD it was like adding another dimension to my life. Why deprive others of it. Just because you can LD does not make you special. I first felt that when I started, and know one else around me (once again) never heard of it & could not do it. I guess it is human nature. But I came to the conclusion just like that of anything that could improve someones life -Get the word out!

Let's do this thing!

After reading the # of ideas what do you propose Jin?

. . . Oh . . . wait . . . you want my opinion? Um, well, I guess everyone has their own ideas on the subject, but . . . um . . . gimme some time to read this all and I'll tell you my idea on the subject, kay?

I think it's fine to tell your friends and family about lucid dreaming.
I don't think its neccessary for a mass invitation to be sent around, the people who are looking for answers will find them; We all have found it, I think it would be selfish to think others cannot find it on their own as well.

. . . Yeah! What he said!

That's the key. discovering a nonevasive way of getting the word out and not to come across like a kook and not being evangalistic. -very fine line

Yeah, that too . . .

I think you've already found it but you just dont realize that
This message board is a way for people who are interested in the topic, to share their views (anonymously if they choose). If they don't agree with what they read, then they won't come back, if they do then you have another member. If there were to be a mass distributed informative letter about it, think about what the general majoritys response to this would be?
"Burn them at the stakes!!"

\"Burn them at the stakes!!\"

You have a good point. and the way this forum is growing I am beginning to think it not nessicarey.
It still wouldn't hurt to use word of mouth to people who take your word for truth. I myself have a pretty good idea who to tell and who not to.

Its fairly obvious if you know a person whether they would be open-minded towards the subject or not. An easy way is to generally bring up something close to the subject, if they appear to be interested then go further into it.
In any case, in todays society, more and more people are turning and looking for an alternate understanding/learning. The word will get out there, and the worthy will respond, no need to fear

erm. is there any chance you could please not post just for the sake of posting? i didn't even know it was humanly possible to post 130+ posts in like a day...3 visits even! impressive, sure, but a little much...

It is hilarious, but I have to agree with the dawg... slow it down a bit...a lot.

Really, I thought anything was humanly possible. I can cough and sneeze at the same time.

Yeah... 2 days and 202 posts... Jin is a freakin postwhore... (if Paperdoll sees this, then you should watch out for Jin)
