I agree, glance. Because it is 99% certain that the dragonflies were there even during the days and moments during which I did not see them. Given that they have been there every day after I noticed them and also based on the fact that another person saw them there on a day (though not the same moment) when I did not notice them. So, it shows us again how peculiar our awareness is 
.
And really people should bear this in mind... how we are actually partially blind to the world around us.
There was one period in my life... after a lot of inward work that took years.. at one moment the way I saw the world changed. And it is not that different to what happened in my dragonfly dream either (given the vibrant colors and the feeling I am seeing things differently). I all of a sudden started to notice stuff I had not before. I had been walking the same streets for a few years and suddenly it was like I was almost somewhere else. The fact that it was spring and things were popping up and growing around helped, I am sure, but then I had seen quite a few springs in that environment and none had affected me in this way. I would notice colors where before I had not seen any - and I do not just mean on flowers/plants but on buildings and such too. And I noticed the plants and trees and although I always did that to an extent now it seemed like I spotted ones that I had not seen before (same went for certain aspects or parts of buildings). I felt like I am waking up and seeing the place almost like for the first time. And I am thinking what if even this awareness is just a stepping stone like the one I was at before and someday I will walk the same streets and see even more, another layer of beings and colors and such that I cannot yet see - I am pretty sure it could be like this. But of course, wherever the bar can actually humanly reach (whatever heights/strengths one's awareness can actually reach), those moments in my life would not be less magical .
