although I can't agree with Oneironaut enough, I must say that this has happened to me before too. this happened about a week ago. We were told a relaxation techniqe (a very bad one compared to the ones found on this website) and all I wanted to do was yell out a few of them and that they could be used to induce a lucid dream. Also we were talking about REM, and I wanted to talk about it, but seeing as how I am in 8th grade and I don't want to be an outcast for all of high school, I kept my mouth shut. (our teacher knew almost nothing, only that we "Played a movie in our head" I feel pity for those without knowledge of LD's)

But in the end, unless you put out some hard core facts, (mostly) no one will believe you. I have told my closest friends (and my cousin) but they all just act like I'm crazy. That's why we should all be thankful for this site and all the users.
