Thread: Giving DCs orders

I had an idea: during a lucid, how about instructing a DC to be there in all your dreams and tell you that you are dreaming?

Has anybody tried this? DCs tend to mostly be a bunch of idiots, in my experience, but who knows – maybe I’m just not talking to them right...

I wouldn't ask just any DC, cause DC's tend to get mad when you tell them they're only a creation of your mind I'd look up my Spiritual Guide instead and ask him to remind me I'm dreaming in future dreams.

That would be so nice if it would work. Better than a dream-sign that you don't recognize. You have to believe your DCs tho, and not argue with them. Most of them are idiots, yes, but some of them are something else.

That could be a good idea, though wouldn't what you get them to do apply to just the one dream? I can't help but think it would be a little unlikely that they'd pop up and remind you you're dreaming in later dreams.

Not so sure it would only apply to one dream. After all: don't some people have the same nightmare over and over, year after year? Don't some people have the same dreamsigns that keep coming back all the time? What if we could create our own dreamsigns? We could decide that a dreamsign is a DC who shouts "get lucid, you're dreaming!".

Moonbeam, I agree that some DCs are "something else", but I can never quite figure out what!!

I think this concept is called "LDILD" - Lucid Dream Induced Lucid Dream. Sounds paradoxical at first, but the general idea is to ask a DC to tell you you're dreaming next time you're asleep. I haven't heard any success stories, but it sounds like it's worth a try next time you're lucid.
