‘I lucid dream normally, my dreams that night were different – very hard to describe, but happy, fun and entertaining, not tiring or draining. I woke up and was watching the full moon, decided to try to take photos as it was so pretty – unsuccessfully as they were all blurry. It was when I returned home and was reviewing photos that there was just one with a bright white shape that I could not determine what it was.’ ‘Bright white image in photo.’ ‘Have a photograph which I would be very happy to share, as I would like to understand better what was around me. I was travelling on my own, safely sleeping locked in my car. I chose to stay in this particular spot as the campgrounds didn’t feel safe. The following day I was energetic and a feeling of calmness, happiness and, I guess, wonder stayed with me throughout the day, which I honestly put down to being in awe and loving the sights, smells and pristine beauty of the wilderness area I was visiting. The spot I stayed is as far as can be driven into that section of the state.’
