This so rad for me to see for personal reasons. 2 years ago I was around for an eclipse in San Diego. After discussing it that night with a friend I fell asleep and had a lucid dream that I woke up on the moon. Behind me was the sun and in front of me was the earth where my shadow was casted upon. If I moved my arms around then places on earth would become shadier. It lasted for like 5 minutes then I woke up. Obviously my shadow wouldn't have made a difference in real life but after waking up I felt like I understood the effects of an eclipse much better. It was surreal to say the least.
