      Always, no sometimes think it's me,
      But you know I know when it's a dream
      I think I know I mean a yes
      But it's all wrong
      That is I think I disagree

      I actually completely agree with you, Ctharlhie. So sorry Fryingman for now un-liking your post - but I felt like doing that to be consistent.

      ^^ Yes, Chtharlhie was, as he is so often, spot-on correct...

      ... meaning is critical, especially in terms that are practically archetypical in the practice of lucid dreaming, and truly singular in their own meanings.
