Could randomly go through your phonebook like a telemarketer and tell people you are conducting a survey for psychology course, ask them if they'd be willing to answer some questions, ask if they've ever had a dream where they knew they were dreaming, ever woken up and found yourself paralyzed, ever had recurring nightmares that they wanted to conquer, etc. etc. and eventually lead into: this is what lucid dreaming is, did you know these facts, blah blah if you want to know more here is a website set up by a student (technically not a lie...)

no one listens to telemarketers except retards or people playing a prank

sorry but its true

i like the business cards and the shirt ideas

Ok I really love that TV commerical thing.

You wouldn't be a telemarketer, though. You'd be a student conducting a survey and asking a few questions and the people who seem interested may end up engaging in a conversation about LDing with you. Think of it as Omegle but IRL, since I know that's what you're all about.

I may actually do this and ask real questions and write down answers.

Almost everyone likes the commercial thingy, but it just seems so impossible to do Anyone have a film crew?

I have a phone camera and microsoft paint. Will that do?

Commercial = Win(if we can do it)
Cards = Win
Shirts = Win(hot topic?)
Telemarketer = i dont think it would work as well as the above^

I dont have a film crew but im sure someone will be willing to do it

It would have to be REALLY well done to be interesting and convincing to the average viewer. I almost think that if it were mistaken for a movie preview that would be ideal.

Something like this . That could practically be one all on its own. That is the quality and sort of style I think any 'commercials' ought to be. I mean obviously not that impressive in terms of quality and effects, but as close as possible with what we've got.

i printed out like 6 buisiness cards

i could hand them out to either people at school, or my aunts friends(they are into that kind of stuff) or just random people

we could get someone with a green screen to do a video for us and we could put it on the internet or put it on TV(if possible)

Vistaprint is great, I'm going to order the 500 premium cards soon once I finish a DV card design.

I don't want this going mainstream, I feel special v.v


Anyways, didn't someone say they found a dreamviews card in a book at the library? Seems like it was working.

It probably won't, considering how people usually don't get interested in LDing when they hear about it. Then again, if it somehow becomes "cool" to lucid dream, we're all fucked.

I just thought of something. I do not want everyone to know about this site because if they do people will be posting left and right, and the secound you post something it would already be pages away just like when you are trying to sugest a myth to the Mythbusters, you can't because your post in one day will already be like 10 pages away if this site gets too pouplar we will not be able to get our posts read unless someone looks at every single post every day. (ranting is fun)

Or we will slowly decay into non-anon /b/.
