Was Douglas Adams a lucid dreamer?

I just realized today that the Infinite Improbability Drive in the book, The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is a lot like the WILD method in a way. How it works in the book is that the spaceship becomes more and more improbable, while everyone on board starts to experience totally weird and random stuff, like people turning into penguins. Then, all of a sudden the ship instantly arrives at its destination.

So maybe if you're a Douglas Adams fan and you find yourself disturbed by HH, you can just imagine you are aboard the Heart of Gold and imagine the computer saying, "Two to the power of one hundred thousand to one against and falling." I'm going to try this the next time I feel freaked out over some hallucination and see if I feel amused instead.

Here's a passage about the Infinite Improbability generator:

"Side effects of using the Infinite Improbability Drive include temporary (and sometimes permanent,) changes to environment and morphological structure, hallucinations, and the calling into being of large marine mammals. An incredible range of highly improbable things can happen. Known effects have included the creation, and spontaneous upending, of a million-gallon vat of custard, marrying Michael Saunders, the transformation of a pair of guided nuclear missiles into a sperm whale and a bowl of petunias, redesigning the interior of the Heart of Gold, turning Ford Prefect into a penguin, transforming the desert world of Kakrafoon into an incredibly habitable oasis during a Disaster Area concert, ridding the people of Kakrafoon of their telepathy during the same concert, and allowing for the discovery of Magrathea by Zaphod Beeblebrox.
