      Or did it end…?

      Though in all seriousness, this is nothing like my experience of lucid dreaming where I was highly aware it was a dream, it felt more like collaborating with my imagination “now I can fly” and my dreaming mind would make that happen “suddenly I can’t fly” and I’m plummeting to earth, it was all very obviously a dream to me, though still thoroughly enjoyable.
