+1 to that! While it would be pretty cool to talk with people about LDing like it was a common everyday thing that people could really get into, I'm afraid DarkLucideity is right.... There is no way that if LDing became "cool" or well-known that it would only attract people who would take it seriously and not bring in stupidity. Can you imagine DV becoming a flood of "omg i kant ld wat am i doin rong help plzzzz!"? I mean, I wouldn't put up with a torrential downpour of integrity-impuning noobies who had no real interest in LDing outside of following the latest fad, even if that woud mean sacrificing LDing as a topic of regular discussion.

I can deal with it still being a non-widely-known thing - I've got my dreams and my friends I can talk to about it, I'm all good.

I don't think it has anything to do with lucid dreaming, something to do with dreams maybe. But we'll just have to wait and see.

Well he seems to be teaching her because he is talking about creating new ideas and not using old memories. I think this movie is taking place in her mind and they are fighting over something important. And he needs her help so he is trying to teach her stuff.

If all we know of the movie is what's in the trailer, we can assume there is going to be some sort of use of lucid dreaming, though they might not point out in the movie what it is they're doing with their dreams -- they might just have some kind of odd twist to involve dreams that could be paralleled with lucid dreaming. I'll keep a watch on updates of this movie. Just in case.

Wow, it would be freaky if that movie actually was about lucid dreaming... we'd get to see if we're right about what would happen.

Are you talking about the fad thing or if the movie was about lucid dreaming

I'll bet that if this movie is about lucid dreaming, any non-LDers who see it will think it is a new thing that scientists have just discovered. Either that, or they will believe that it was made up for the movie.
