Wow, that sounds like a really interesting episode. Now that I'm paying more attention to my dreams, I realize how common it is for dreams to be incorporated into artistic works. A game I'm playing, Catherine, has all of the puzzle games in nightmares. Towards the end the character has a FA, and then realizes that he can ultimately beat anything the dreams throw at him, because they're HIS dreams. A webcomic I read has something called dream bubbles, and reminds me a bit of astral projection. Though most shows/games don't directly talk about lucid dreaming. It's rather impressive that shared dreaming was focused on.

=/ Sorry to read that your recall took a nosedive again. Is your recall usually this inconsistent, or is it because you're trying very hard to LD? Good luck with your WBTB!
