[I apologise if there is already a topic like this, haven't the time to search]

Are we pioneers? By that I mean, are we just the few exploring a subject that will, in the future, be many times more popular? Will LDing ever be massively popular, as popular as, say, knitting? (sorry, couldn't think of anything)

I'd like to think we are, but I'm not sure. For a start, I am often embarassed that I practice it, I think it has a kind of social stigma, much like believing in witchcraft. I feel that a lot of stuff in 'Beyond Dreaming' section, all of which are elaborate fantasies, helps cause this.

What do you think?
