    3 Wise DCs

    Pre pre: turmeric

    Wbtb: had 1/3 latte, was more sleepy, so the ld was more stable, but tasks less accessible.

    A dream starts with some scenario going while I'm in my bed in ex-bedroom trying to fall asleep. A moment of the usual confusion as I'm uncertain in the darkness which hands I'm moving. I think I'm moving my real hands because I can touch some of the furniture next to the bed. Then decide to make the dream appear, get up and expect to be able to move in the dream scene, which builds now fully around me. With slightly more confidence I go to the other room, where I examine the furniture layout. Contrary to my expectations the room seems very orderly, and nothing stands out to point out this is a dream. It looks suspiciously realistic and as if this is happening now. Then I have a look at the sofa and see dad and bf relaxing on the opposite sides.

    I remember I wanted to do the easter egg task again. This time, I decide to just think of it rather than use hand summon to make the egg appear, then look to my side. There is a weird looking plant which is decorated with eggs. I pick a purple colored egg from the plant and remind myself to break it. Yet, the egg feels hollow and light and I'm afraid there won't be anything inside. I hold it for a while trying to make it a bit heavier and fill it with something to see. The egg remains light and I now worry that if I don't hurry up, these mental efforts will make it transform to something else, so go ahead and break it. The initial impression is that there is nothing inside, but as I examine the small pieces of egg shell fallen in, I notice there are a number of miniature banknotes inside the egg. I make a mental note for the journal.

    The DCs change positions and now it's mom, dad and bf sitting on the couch and I start asking them questions. Unlike other of my conversations with DCs, these three can actually speak, forming entire complex sentences more or less answering my questions. I believe I have finally come across smart DCs. Unfortunately, I was unable to recall the most of the things they said, and had not been very prepared to ask them more questions either. This is what I remember.

    My first thought is to wonder if it's possible those to be the real people I know, where we are all dreaming this here and now. I have some intuition that this isn't the case, but then wonder if it could be that all of us are engaged in this conversation in a different time (like the past or maybe the future), so I ask the DCs about that. My mom's DC starts to explain something about animals having the ability to do something similar to what we are doing now, but humans have lost this ability. I want them to continue explaining and ask them more questions I can't recall. The only gibberish moment happens when I focus too much on the speech and try to apply extra understanding to it. If I casually listen, they continue with their explanations.

    The DCs change to other male DCs I don't know, they continue being smart and I feel close to them as if meeting friends I haven't seen for a long time. The conversation continues and I ask one of the guys something about the dream. He makes a remark that long dreams like this can be especially tiresome for some of the participants as if referring to himself. I'm out of ideas for questions, so try to remember the other tasks but the very strong effort to access this hard to reach memory causes the dream the completely collapse and me to wake up.


    I do a mental review and still tired continue sleeping.

      Congratulations, Nyx, cool LD! There was a lot of good material in here thanks to your encounter with these "smart DCs". Several bits jumped out at me:

      My mom's DC starts to explain something about animals having the ability to do something similar to what we are doing now, but humans have lost this ability
      Nothing to add here. This idea's just cool.

      The only gibberish moment happens when I focus too much on the speech and try to apply extra understanding to it. If I casually listen, they continue with their explanations.
      That makes sense! This is also what seems to happen when we focus a whole lot on what DCs are doing, unintentionally bringing too much of the conscious mind to bear on the DCs when the subconscious would do the job much more naturally. (At least this is the case for me.)

      but the very strong effort to access this hard to reach memory causes the dream the completely collapse and me to wake up.
      You know, it's funny but I got this exact same feeling in last night's LD. (Still need to write it up.) I was having a super hard time remembering the details of tasks, kept getting them wrong, knowing I was getting them wrong, etc. And whenever I would reach really, really hard for the memory, it felt like I started losing things and I was back to furious arm-rubbing to keep things going.

      Nice LD! I like the transition and the "eggplant"! I also get that feeling of thinking DCs are really actual people sharing a dream. They just seem so real sometimes!

      Thanks!

      You know, I think you're right about that. We're better off when we allow the subcon do its job, it seems to be a pro at this thing. Perhaps this is the key to dream control improvement, don't try to control every little aspect of it, but rather wish for the end result (or yet better intend for the end result!).

      You know, it's funny but I got this exact same feeling in last night's LD. (Still need to write it up.)
      Ah, those little teasers we like to leave at each other's journals. Ok, I'm on it!

      Thank you! Haha, I haven't thought of this name, but fits! And yes, sometimes DCs can be so real it leaves you wondering.
