I was having lunch with one of the VP's of the company I work for the other day when, for some reason, I decided to drop a casual comment about lucid dreaming. We were contemplating dessert, and I mentioned how I conjured up a whole pastry shop full of desserts and enjoyed them in my dream. "She said, "Oh! My son is getting into that, and I told him to go easy on it. I don't think it's a good idea." I didn't ask her to elaborate, because I didn't want to get placed in the position of having to defend lucid dreaming to my boss's boss. Still, I thought it was an interesting enough comment to share. It's not all that often you even find someone who knows what lucid dreaming is, let alone believes in it.
