many people might say this song is about dreams, which i guess is correct.
to me, this song is about embracing death. not so much as in a BOC "Don't Fear The Reaper" kind of way.
it's about crossing over. i always regarded death more as just a prolonged sleep, the events of your life flickering like a film strip before your eyes.
this song could even be regarded as a message, from those who have gone before us, that there is nothing to fear, no pain. and that they are waiting on the other side to guide us.
This song grabbed me immediately the first time I heard it, which was quite recently. My son and I always shared a love of music, bringing things to each other to rave about them and enjoy. We even had a "song" which had seen us through a hard time and meant a lot to both of us. He had it played at his wedding, when we danced the mother/groom dance.

He committed suicide, almost three years ago, at only 27. This is not the first time that I felt he reached out to me through music. In each instance, my exposure to the particular song was so random that I felt he had to have a hand in getting them in front of me. I am in pain every day, and I know I will be forever. But I really do think you hit the nail on the head, about it being a reach out from those who've gone before us, letting us know they'll be with us every day.
@roger wilco it's both really ... it's about coping with the death of someone close to you, by keeping them in your dreams through the literal concept of lucid dreaming.
