recently i found myself lucid in some tropical city... it reminded me of miami but it could have been california or something. immediately i felt a sense of urgency... like something big was about to happen. first thing i do when i become lucid is start floating... and occasionally if i'm in an area with other people, several of them will float too. sometimes i wonder if it's other lucid dreamers? i know it's kind of a wacky idea but who knows....

anyway it happened this time but none of the others seemed to notice anything unusual about the floating people surrounding them! so, all of a sudden i see the allstate guy, so i go up to him and say "hey, you're the allstateguy!" (really clever, i know). then i told him "i'm dreaming right now! are you?" i was pretty excited because it was really the first time i attempted talking to anyone about the lucid dream while i was in it. he seemed really scared and looked at me like i was crazy and then started to run away from me. i was following him, asking him what was the problem but suddenly i woke up.

for some reason this was a striking LD to me. although not as fun as many others i've had, or nothing "big" happened like i'd expected, for some reason i felt like it was important and i was close to finding some deeper meaning. i couldn't shake the feeling i had felt at first. i've always wondered about lucid dreams. and just dreams in general..why? and not just the scientific analysis. maybe it has something to do with our collective consciousness.. i feel like there is more to the universe than just particles and atoms and neurons firing... cultures for millenniums have theorized about dreaming and it's great importance in culture, religion, life. now modern science dismisses it as largely insignificant.

i dunno!!!! maybe it was just trying to tell me that insurance companies don't like me...

anyway, other people must have similar theories about lucid dreaming. i'm not crazy right? i'd love to hear ideas...
