Thread: Maintaining Balance While Interacting With Dream Characters

I suppose I lumped this in with 'the unconscious,' but it doesn't necessarily have to come from my own mind.

I won't disagree with that. You just have to be very good at identifying your own dream content before you can start spotting the outside influences. Plus your own personal psyche can still flavor the outside stuff. Say different people encountered some outside entity. One might see it as an angel, another as a wise man, another as an alien. There is a lot of that in shared dreaming where both parties see something different that is sort of the same on an archetypal level.
