   While we are on the subject, I was recently speaking with a friend and   
   colleague about this very subject.  I reluctantly brought up my interest in   
   dreams.  (I'm sure many of you realize the reason for my hesitation.  Not   
   very many others share our passion for the dream universe.)   
      
   She responded with excitement that she too enjoys dreams.  I told her I had   
   made it my goal to dream lucidly on a regular basis, and she asked me what I   
   meant by "lucid".  I told her, and she said she has been dreaming like that   
   for a while now!  She had no idea what they were, just that she has been   
   able to make herself wake up when she is uncomfortable, like in a nightmare   
   for instance.  She often realizes when she's dreaming, and can make herself   
   do things.  And after all this time that I've been practicing, someone that   
   didn't even know the definition of it can do it naturally!  I'm envious of   
   her.
