Interesting discussion you've got going on.
Once, I had an LD where I was walking down the street in Bremerton, WA
(don't live there anymore), and this triggered my consciousness. I was
fully aware of both the dream, and the reality of me lying in the bed. I
was vaguely aware of my bodily position. After become lucid, I realized
that "somehow" I had travelled back to a certain day in the past and was
reliving that day. I kept trying to tell everyone what had happened, and
nobody believed me. I started panicking because nobody believed me, and was
trying to deduce a way to get "back" into my body in the present. I
realized later on after waking up normally, that I might have been able to
lie down in the same position as my "real" body was, and try to shift back.
Any thoughts.
