I always *hate* it when people try to hand me pamphlets in a public space. I feel like they're proselytizing or trying to pressure me into participating in something or donate money to a cause.

... AND I get annoyed at all the waste involved -- so many people will accept the pamphlet just to get the person off their back and then just toss it in the garbage or on the ground. Not so great for the environment.

However, I understand the desire to share your excitement about lucid dreaming and help others discover it. (Hell, I even started a blog on the subject before I came across this forum.)

There are ways you can do this that aren't so in-your-face that would attract the attention of people who are actually interested in this sort of thing without pissing off those who aren't. If you want to form a local support group or something, why not place a classified ad in your local paper and/or on Craigslist? You could also contact places like yoga studios and offer to do a lecture or workshop there. I'm guessing that if you approached venues like that you'd be more likely to find people who are more into this sort of thing.

... Anyhow, those are my two cents. Interesting thread!
