I'm one of those straight right-handers, and I don't swallow goldfish
either. But I have, on many occasions, had what might be considered
lucid dreams. There are certain things I can do, with varying degrees of
reliability, if I know that I'm in a dream; hovering above the ground is
one of those. If I'm not sure whether I'm dreaming, I try hovering.
Sometimes I can find secret entrances or trap doors that open. I
occasionally visit places under water or in the sky. Lots of interesting
stuff, but unfortunately I don't remember any of the conlanging I do in
dreams. (Probably just as well.)
