Finally just gave up, opened my eyes, and went to the cafeteria anyway). So I was late to dinner and then showed up at the lecture hall about 15 minutes into the talk he was giving. I was still having the experience, just the beginning of a fade. I walked in the door way at the back of this huge hall, and it seemed to me that just as I entered MMY turned his head and looked right over at me, right in the eye and nodded - I felt he knew exactly what I was experiencing and nodded to say so. That could have all been wishful thinking. But I continue to think he knew.
I had an experience once, and I don't know if it was real or imagined. But I had the intent desire that MMY acknowledge me, or recognize me in some manner. It was a time when I was with him personally in a course setting, and I recall that he looked over at me, and began laughing. As I said, looking back on it, I don't know if it was real or not. If I were pressed on the issue, I would say it happened.
