Plead: Guilty or not guilty?

Haha, well when the movie came out, there was an obvious increase in new members joining DV. Even the members noticed it, but the stats showed it too.
So yea, there will be a lot of people answering yes here. Unless they all got their arses out when they realized they can't share dreams :P
Also, welcome back to DV :) I see you've been gone a while.
*Smirks*
I thought I would see for myself, secretly hoping to find a post matching my cynical views.
Thank you very much, it's good to be back.
I'm actually quite interested to see how many people say yes here.
I have absolutely no idea how many people actually stayed here after gaining interest that way. I'm also curious if the Inception-boost is still happening.
I'm not guilty xP As for finding someone to match your views, I believe myself to be a cynic. haha
Confess I have not seen it, but I need to check it out!
Haven't seen it, joined because I found a link to it with a google search of "Lucid dream inductions"
Inception didn't really get me into it, I never even related it to Lucid Dreaming. Feels kinda obvious now, though.
Around the release of Inception, I must have spoken to at least 25 new members. I'm certain there were more than that, but some of them probably left soon afterwards. I'm curious to see who stuck around. :)
I joined DV as inception came out, but I didn't know what it was until after I joined DV. But I remember there were lots of other new people who said they came because of it, but they seemed to mostly have dissapeared.
not guilty, I already was a natural lucid dreamer when I was younger
Nope. Not guilty!
I would think a lot of people who watched Inception thought it would be as easy as plugging yourself into a machine and getting lucid. I may be wrong, but just my two cents lol.
I personally didn't, when I saw the movie I was more into the actual plot then the concept itself.
Nah. I've never seen inception. I don't even remember how I found DV. I think it was a really hot night and i couldn't fall asleep. A random thought just came to me: "hey, how cool would it be to control your dreams?"
Never thought it was even possible :D
I started before Inception. Though, I'm sure attaching the word "guilt" to a new lucid dreamer based on how they were introduced to the idea is not a positive way to encourage them.

I was already interested.
But I did find DV after I came across a link on tvtropes after looking up Inception.
NOT GUILTY
I saw the movie Vanilla Sky (Tom Cruise, Cameron Diaz) way back in 2001 and that got me interested.
Not guilty, I saw it about a month after I found out about lucid dreaming.
I'm glad actually, though I'm not sure I would have researched shared dreaming/lucid dreaming afterwards.
We need more movies about dreams! They always seem to bring a lot of attention to lucid dreaming. Free publicity for lucidity :D
