Not really etoven, it was just a dream. It wasn't a "waking dream" at all, just a normal one where I fell into my own body, I didn't even feel like I was outside it until I eventually saw it at the last second (like a function of my memory in generating the scene called up the fact that my bed, last I remembered, had me in it, so it added that detail in). But hey, could have been weirder. I could have like, seen my friend reaching for me but the waves pushed me back to another friend, and that one looks into the sky and when I look up I see myself falling like a star and then that me's eyes open and I am that one and then the beach turns into sky and I fall straight down onto a giant stained glass window with Snow White and the 7 Dwarves on it. Now THAT would be messed up... But yeah, I have yet to have any waking dreams in my life. I hear those can be scary, and um, also seems to be the most likely explanation for UFO abductions.
"On two occasions, I have been asked [by members of Parliament], 'Pray, Mr. Babbage, if you put into the machine wrong figures, will the right answers come out?' I am not able to rightly apprehend the kind of confusion of ideas that could provoke such a question." ~ Charles Babbage (1791-1871)
