Family (and household members in general) interrupting private moments is just one of those things in life where they seem to be events that are constantly chained for the sole purpose of interruption. My family doesn't appear much at all in my dreams anymore, save for significant symbolic dreams, perhaps because I live far from them now.

I know, it's frustrating when it happens! Like, go away and surf around on your eReader or something, or go and bother my brother instead XD. But if my family weren't around, then I'm pretty darn sure the dream would find another way to interrupt me and tamper with my tasks

I'm curious, why do you feel that the dream would always try to interrupt/tamper with your process?

I guess it just happened one time and ever since then, I just guess I've classified the Awareness Behind The Dream as a cheeky little thing. Dream 251 B has a lot of insight on this idea.

I found that DJ entry and read through it; so the ABTD is a meddling dream mastermind? (if I understood correctly )

Anyway, have you tried meeting again since then in another dream?

Yep, that's it! I figure that meeting with the ABTD may cause more problems, that's just me. I may just need to program my mind to think that the ABTD is a co-operative being. I'm actually about to post Dream No. 437. In 437 B, you'll see my use of "reverse psychology" to get what I wanted. It was hilarious! And my DG was amused once he found out what I did.

As of 9:32 PM, Dream No. 437 is up.

I just finished reading your next DJ entry now. It was quite interesting, especially the two last bits with the elevator(s); and your lucids are certainly quite long (mine only last some seconds/less than a minute anyway ).

I don't know you as a person of course; But I would personally be interested in meeting such an antagonistic character (ABTD) again to discuss their motives, specifically. If it's a part of you, why does it act against you? What are the motivations, are they logical...? That kind of thing. I suppose I have confidence that I can be neutral in a discussion with myself, and that a part of myself would be willing to accept some of my arguments if I accept some of theirs.

Anyway, in my own case... As I've found with nightmares, perpetuating animosity only tends to make it stronger each time. What do you think?

Some things I have ambitions for; other things, I guess I just avoid the problem. I've had insightful chats with so many DV members today, it's crazy! I see what you're saying when you say that continuing hostility may only make it worse, I agree. But sometimes I get so set in my ways that it's hard to steer into another direction straight away. Maybe I could try to meet the ABTD again but I have other more urgent tasks pending at the moment that actually have real life time limit to them. As you would have seen in 437 B, I actually have a waking life phobia of elevators and I "could" be working over the summer holidays, so I'm trying to tackle that. But, I'll keep it in mind to possibly seek out the person that is ABTD again.

Yeah, I see what you mean too.

Even from your dream, I hadn't interpreted/understood that you had a phobia of elevators, sorry about that; though now that you've mentioned it, it's easier for me to understand the context and the elevator scenes. Very recently I got over a phobia of spiders, a phobia which I'd had all my life up until that point, so I know exactly what it's like.

I also remember that when I was in university I had a lot of stuff to concentrate on too, so I think that's definitely reasonable.
