Everyone else think so?

http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=75 It doesn't get much cleaner than that. Unfortunately I think most people don't even go there first.

Whoa... and I thought that was just a joke, although since you referred to it as a gem I DID start wondering... ugh, good god

And wow... the very best part of that post?! "Now I personaly have never had a lucid but I try to WILD's often."

Even things like FILD, it may not make any difference if you move your fingers or not, but if it works psychologically with someone, then good for them if it helps then get lucid.

Right, the only problem is that FILD isn't a technique in and of itself. It's a modification on existing and basic technique that lots of people think is its own technique. Having stuff like that out there just confuses people. I don't disagree that people should post "HEY- I do this during a DEILD!" or "It helps me when I do this when I WILD."

The purpose of Dreamviews it to teach people how to lucid dream, and to be a forum on the topic. But if we're being a forum at the expense of providing pure, dilute, core information on how to lucid dream, then I personally think that we're doing something wrong.

Hence http://www.dreamviews.com/community/...splay.php?f=75 as the official tutorial section. Pure, straight up, uncomplicated, basic lucid dream induction techniques. The bells and whistles are nice, but not when they distract from the essentials of those basic techniques.
