    pre-bed: 24oz beer 1 hour before bed.
    WBTB G at 2:00AM

    I get the feeling like all this is taking way too long and I think about how I have to get up for work soon. I realize that I feel a little odd so I relax. When I do, I shoot straight up. I can feel myself phase through the ceiling and then the roof. Then suddenly, I am sucked back into my body. I begin to feel vibes and try my usual exit but it's not working this time. I visualize walking and climbing stairs but nothing happens. I feel stuck in SP so I wait it out and meditate. I get breathing issues like I need to adjust my head. I feel like my neck is kinked in the wrong way but I can't move so I try to have even breathing and ignore it.

    Later I feel my wife touching my hand like she somehow rolled over a little. It bothers me because I feel like it has woke me up a little so I gently scoot over just enough. I realize something felt really odd about my motions but I'm not sure what to do. I worry that I will have to start over so I just lay still.

    I hear my wife say something about me talking in my sleep. I start to ask her what I was saying but she continues talking over me. Her voice transforms into some kind of electronic garble as she lazily flops her arm and head on my chest. Before I can react, we both fall off my side of the bed and I yell out, "WHOOOAAA!" I become very afraid of this DC and my first reaction was to react negatively like before. I say, "You are not my real wife." I stop myself myself there as I remember the conversation I recently had with Wurlman in our podcast. I decide to react with love instead. We are still entangled on the floor and I kiss her on the forehead as I say, "I love you babe. I love you. I love you." She doesn't say anything, but shakes her head "yes". The fear is gone but I worry this will turn sexual. I worry because I think of this DC as some kind of strange entity. The feeling I get from it seems off and unnatural. I wake up before anything else happens.

      Your stories with this phantom DC really start to give me the creeps. Mostly because I know I can overreact and allow things to get out of control. (Subcon you didn't hear that!) In the least, it seems you have plenty of opportunity to adjust to the situation and deal with it in a positive way. Well handled!

      Thanks. Yeah well maybe it's expectation and bad schema that allows this to happen. I've been thinking a lot about DC's and negative entities and it's just too clear that they are all about what's inside the subconscious. Maybe it's a reflection of some part of myself, but the good news is, that after this dream I felt really awesome about myself for several days. No more will I verbally abuse DC's. Creepy or not, they are really me. So I say be kind to yourself and hug a demon.

      I think you handled this perfectly! This is IMO a great way to handle the problem of feeling like you have this impostor DC. You have so much power to navigate the way that the dream proceeds that I think treating the DC with the love and respect you'd offer your wife is the perfect way to make her transition into actually being your wife's DC. And I mean, yeah, it's true that there's a chance of things turning sexy in this situation, but I think it's a good trade to rid yourself of the "phantom wife" in exchange for some hypothetical "sexytime with wife" problem.

      Sounds like you've got just the right idea!

      Edit: And wow, great comment above, just read it. Completely agree. Being cool to DCs is so much more likely to yield positive outcomes IMO. Great stuff man!!
