Jazz-
Any number of possibilites come to mind, from the dragonfly deciding you
resembled a rock or branch (for whatever reason), to the state of mind your
reading material put you in being conduscive to attracting dragonflies
(especially blue-gray ones), and those are just two of the myriad
possibilities.
Would you know how you might have "smelled" at the time? Perhaps you were
close enough to moss-covered structres that the moss "odor" of the
environment masked the scent that dragonflies get from most humans. More
interesting still, it might have had a "human fetish". :-)
Hopefully, you weren't resembling a mosquito in any way. It didn't
attempt to bite you, did it?
Perhaps this should go in a new item: invertabrate phenomena.

No, I thought it curious, though, and wondered if any with a greater
knowledge of folklore might care to draw a parallel. I'm not aware of any
examples of dragonflies in folklore, to be honest.
