Yeah I thought you might say that! I think it does in fact depend on the sub matter. Anything to do with LD is gonna help get you lucid and it was probably more to do with the late night ie adjusted sleep cycle. Me and my msn buddy only talk about LD a little bit nowadays and we're both pretty certain our 8 hour nonstop conversations about drivel are not helping us get lucid!

I wouldn't say that, though, because I've found the opposite to be true for me. I'll have to screw around and see just how much tv/youtube hurts versus helps.

And those are anecdotes, not enough to be evidence. I wouldn't turn it into a fact because of a 2:1 stance, because it's certainly not true for me which is why I am asking you guys.

I just thought of something,
I said is there a way to forget how to LD,
However, I dont want to stop having very vivid normal dreams.
And watching TV seems to ruin both LDing and vivid dreaming,
At least, for me. >: /

Oh well, I'm not quitting LDing anytime soon anyway. 8D

FYI, anecdotes are actually a form of evidence. But they're not anecdotes anyway, I did specific personal experiments. I have actually done a Research Methods paper at university and this was a Single Subject Study.

I also never said it was a fact.

Anyway, I don't give a rat's about all this. I originally gave my opinion. I'm sorry if it wasn't preceded with a big fat WARNING! here comes my opinion...

hehe
