I was in the dentist's chair yesterday, and he told me that based on my airway structure, he was sure I must have sleep apnea. He said, "I'll bet you don't dream very much, do you?" I said, "Oh, I dream a LOT. In fact, I'm getting pretty good at LUCID dreaming." The hygienist said, "Oh my God, that's great! What's your technique?" She went on to tell me about a recent lucid where she was able to conjure a weapon to fight off a dream character (oddly, it was one of her child's toys).

It's starting to seem to me that there are LOTS of people out there with an interest in lucid dreaming. It's surprising to me that almost every time I drop a comment in mixed company about lucid dreaming, someone speaks up with their own story.
