Thread: Brainstorming: How to get the word out about LDing and DreamViews???

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)

My favorite way of telling people about lucid dreaming goes something like this: "Have you ever had one of those dreams where you know you're dreaming?" If they say "yeah!" go on like "Aren't they awesome? You can do anything you want!" if not, say "I've had some, they're awesome. You can do anything you want!" then maybe talk about what's possible as they get excited about the idea. Then tell them about how it's possible to have many lucid dreams with some practice and how real they are. If they're interested, go in more detail about induction methods, and link them to some tutorials. If they're not interested or lose interest, then they're not worth it. "You can experience anything you can imagine!" "Nah."

Also, make sure to mention all the scientific research so they don't think of it as "new-agey"

The most important thing is not to overwhelm them. It's "knowing you're dreaming," not "knowing you're dreaming and WILD and DILD and SP and you need to work on your dream recall try autosuggestion light switches dont work and LDing is difficult and you have to do this dont forget to stay conscious lucidity lol"

some people i tell say theyve never had them and they think im lying.

theni link them to the DJ page

then they believe me

That video was pretty cool...
