Anyway, I tried posting a link to my first post on the forums which you can find at ~/f20/my-experience-thusfar-109376/ (the ~ standing in for dreamviews.com)
I wish I had written down my dream after having it so as to recall finer details but to this day the feeling of connection I had with "her" remains, stronger than any connection I've had with anyone else. I've experienced her presence in my dreams with varying degrees of lucidity 2 or 3 other times in my life and though I don't recall much if anything about those dreams detail-wise the positive impact from that connection remains today.

I have all sorts of theories for who she might be, both rational and irrational. I certainly hope it was indeed a shared experience or that I may someday meet her in real life, but that remains to be seen. But even if it is all "just a dream", it's good to know that I'll at least always have just that - my dreams. Whether she's a projection of my subconscious or the foreordained babe of my dreams I still cherish the experience for the positive impact it's had and the potential for more positive experiences. A lot of the debate these days seems to be focused around how we should interpret our dream experiences, mostly arguments coming from a scientific standpoint or a metaphysical/religious one. To me this is missing the point entirely. We in waking life can never truly grasp the dream state and therefore any interpretations of it are bound to be flawed on some level or miss the boat altogether. You don't learn from trying to put a label on the experience after the fact, it's all in the actual experiencing of it that we gain the most.

Wow... What an excellent post. To me that is the most correct explanation I have ever heard. Bravo.
