this morning when I came lucid I related to the dream through the filters of a version of myself whose life had diverged at some point, proably only in the last ten or five years.

I recognized one of the dream characters as an old friend even though I had either never met her before or had just (in waking life) met her for the second time ever the night before. and i remembered other friends who I don't know at all.

strange. not strange that I had a lucid dream at all, though. had done reality checks all day, after having gotten lazy about doing them.

a few hours before I had (for the first time) taken 5-HTP in capsule form. though not until a few minutes ago did I draw the connection.
