For those of you who don't know what a lucid dream is, it's basically when you realize you're dreaming /in/ your dream (e.g. you suddenly start wondering why you're wearing nothing but underwear to work), and start to the control the dream as your conscious self (doing stuff like flying, breathing underwater, or just struggling to remain conscious). Google it, it's a pretty cool concept.
Since I think lucid dreams are awesome, I'm inclined to think that this (amazing) song is talking about them literally - "shortwave streams" could refer to brain activity during REM sleep, "I skate around the world tonight" could be talking about all the adventures this guy is having as he dreams. "I woke with wings from lucid dreams" - for anyone who's ever experienced a real, vivid lucid dream, the power you have to do absolutely anything you want in this universe your mind has created is really like having a pair of wings.
"Oh, so why don't you meet me there" - there's stories of people meeting up during their simultaneous dreams... I don't believe that but what the hell.
Of course it could also just be a metaphor for the dream of love and truth, blah, blah, blah. My theory's more exciting :D
It's very true, it's really hard to explain to anyone who hasn't experience this personally, but the feeling you get is just so intense and amazing that you just don't get over it; it is really like having a pair of wings... especially when you do ;)

The line "I woke with wings from lucid dreams, And knew the reason I felt hollow, Was that I may never know, If there is some great truth or not." really speaks to how you feel about the "real" world afterwords; it just can't compare.
