I would go even further and suggest the lines are blurred dramatically for those of us who actually have metaphysical talents. I have used my short time online to observe how I form connections with people. Dreams may be entertainment for most or allow one to act out specific situations in a romantic environment and at times make a great learning tool But, what I learned from being online is the same thing I learned from mastering lucid dreaming and astral travel. Making contact and forming connections is much more fullfilling than remaining a detached observer and in that sense it is no different than RL any place a dream may take you the internet has that ability already. And to me this speaks volumes about the future of the internet and online worlds. Put some soul in your machines. Humdog im impressed by your observations.

But even if it is a "lucid dream" of some sort, it still involves a RL person; the scammer saying "I really am a nice person" still has no credence to me. Good points.
