I'm not saying that real friendships among socially marginalized people don't exist, but I'm saying they are often less stable than friendships between higher status people, because eventually they'll throw them away in exchange for a chance to climb further up the pile. High status people sacrifice relationships also of course, but it is different for the more marginalized people, because everyone is trying to get away from social failure.

      I feel like this is a bit off topic, but I do want to reply here.

      This is just simply not true. In fact, I have found the opposite to be true. Many of my friends from high school were the uncool, weird, nerdy kids. I also had to be friends with very popular kids from chamber singers. What I can say is that the nerdy kids don't really care about opportunities to "rise up the social ladder." Why? They care more about being able to be themselves rather than having to mold themselves to fit in a group. To them, real friendship is more valuable.

      Coming back here, and being the only one online is crazy. I wonder how long this site will be around, so many fond memories, way back when. I joined this site when I was 14, now I'm 32.



      I wanna be the very best
      Like no one ever was
      To lucid dream is my real test
      To control them is my cause

      I still lurk sometimes, but typically I only ever use the Dream Journal these days. And only for dreams I consider memorable, not literally all of them like in the old days.

      I hope DV gives us a bit of advance warning if they're ever about to shut down, because I don't have the last 5 years worth of entries backed up.
      Current projects:
      -Acquire the Aurora
      -Test galatamine, huperzine and choline
      -Find smartwatch app for RC reminders at certain intervals
      -Ressurect my dream log here, and become more active

      When I joined DV in September of 2013, it seemed pretty active back then. I'm really glad it was: I was able to meet talented dreamers, ask questions (and get answers!), and read tons of amazing archives of high quality content.

      Persistent forums like DV are absolutely the best way to record and find information. Contemporary social media outside of forums is all linear stream "chat" focused, terrible for the saving and searching of information on a particular topic. It's too bad everyone's been seduced by YT, FB, discord, slack, etc. Those are great places to say "hi," but they're just not suitable for any serious exchange of information. Anything of any value disappears when it scrolls up off the screen in the chat. The discord channels do not help much, they're also flat linear discussions. What you really want is what forums give: persistent threads on a particular topic.

      I really don't understand YT for learning -- videos (and podcasts) are a *terrible* way to convey information: they're slow to browse (the speed of speech, even at 2x speed), almost never have bookmarks for particular themes/topics, and are completely unsearchable.

      But yeah, it seems that most of the veterans and newbies are all on reddit/discord/YT.

      Yeah, you don't want information sugar coated with ideas that will not work for everyone. What about those trends out there that really unhealthy dream ideas? Like on TikTok, YT, and Tic Tok.
