I've been finding more often that I tell my dream characters goodbye when I leave them. It's becoming something of a habit.

Each time though, it is with a sense of saddness and loss. Last night, I was hanging in a non lucid dream with a DC. I do not know him in real life, but in the dream, he was a either a co-worker or aqaintance. We were walking along and needed to jump a fence. It was at this point I became lucid because of the unusual hang time.

As soon as I landed, I looked him in the eye, shook his hand and said: "Goodbye, i do not think we will meet again"

He had a look of sadness on his face and I felt sadness in my heart.

So, am I the only one that does this?
