I sometimes wake from a lucid with Mixed feelings............Of having a totally 'Freeing' experience......... But on the other hand a feeling of being totally alone after awakening. If it is just an Illusion than I have just spent my time with a useless phantom, or was it a more meaningful spiritual experience. What I am saying is, should we value our time spent with "Physical" Loved one"s the most or put our faith in "Dream Sprites".
