      I was invited to submit my experiences for a movie about dreams (from a mainstream director), but when it came down to getting paid for helping write the script the producer didn't want to pay what I felt the time was worth, but would give me credit in the film's credits. I don't care about seeing my name in a film. What I cared about was compensation and it wasn't enough.
      Is everyone ignoring this? Surely this alone is enough to label the guy as a liar, the whole delusions of grandeur and all that.

      The thread is basically called 'I can do everything, why can't you, IT'S EASY you moron'.

      The guy WAS arrogant with his title thread, and never stopped being arrogant; indirectly AND directly calling everyone who thinks/knows he was being arrogant closed minded and all that.
      While others only could see what their mind was telling them was arrogant, you looked deep and answered wisely.
      You see, we were too STUPID to realise he wasn't being arrogant!

      He also goes on to repeatedly label himself as openminded, creative, optimistic n all that, clearly indicating that if you don't have the control he claims to, you arent openminded, creative, optimistic or any of that.

      I guess I don't place limits on myself while I'm awake and that comes out in my dreams. I have a lot of hope and an optimistic person.
      See that's where we're all going wrong, we're placing limits on ourselves! We have to learn to be as free spirited as this guy, he should be the shining beacon of hope to all of humanity. LEAD US, O GREAT SHINY ONE!

      So perfect control, lucid dreaming since childhood, perfect 19 years of happy marriage still finding his wife stunningly attractive, experienced negative G, been approached by at least one mainstream film director, creative, optimistic, free spirited, blah blah blah, and then leaves when criticised JUSTIFIABLY for being a complete ass.

      I'm not saying I don't believe this guy, it's completely plausible that all of this is true. For the record I don't believe him though. And he's arrogant. There's no two ways about it.

      At the end of the day I think the best point brought up by some of the critics/skeptics is that so often, the people who say they can do anything NEVER have any advice, they never say how they did it or got to that point. It's very annoying and I've seen it done before on another forum where I flat out asked the guy for advice who was bragging big time. He had nothing, just more bragging. It truly is a red flag.

      I tried to explain my theory on why he thought he could do anything, it's his worldview basically. It doesn't make him a liar. But flying through solid objects does not mean you can do anything.

      Also, I have read parts of several dream journals on here and yet to come across a journal of someone who can do anything they want anyway. Is there one?

      Skepticism is a good thing, so is criticism, he really should have handled the criticism better. Coming to a forum like this and slowly learning that you aren't that mind-blowing of a dreamer can be a tough pill to swallow, I know, I had to also.

      Yeah, well the guy's a douche. I was trying to be civil and give him the benefit of the doubt. The problem with being a douche is that, no matter how well you try and craft your words, or how many times you edit and change your posts, you still come off as a douche. It's like trying to hide garlic smell with mouthwash. Never works.
