Lol. Are you mean to them? xD

I talk with mine all the time. In fact, I have a few very close friends who happen to be DC's, and know they are.

Does that make me weird?

I like to tell DCs that i'm dreaming and that they're in my head just to see their reactions but other than that I usually don't bother with DCs, and just get on with having fun.

The other night, I told the DC version of my girlfriend that I thought I was dreaming. She said something like "Oh yeah?" So I jumped into the air and stayed there. The look on her face was priceless! She was so shocked to discover that she was part of my dream! Then she started egging me on to do more fantastic stuff. "Fly through the wall!" It felt weird to have a DC encouraging my lucidity.

Hey that kinda happened to me. Except I stuck my finger through my hand.

I recall one dream in which I was getting a jar of olives off of a shelf at a store (I don't know what kind of store it was, but it definitely wasn't a grocery store) while talking to a woman who came to the store very often. When I got the olives off of the shelf, she told me, "You know, my father was murdered by an olive murderer."

Those poor olives...

i hear the olive murderer's accomplice is the ham burglar

ever since i have been getting LDs i have tried different things. one dream i wanted to talk to a DC. so i walked up to him and asked for directions and he helped me. i asked him if h knew he was in my dream and he said yes.

Also, one time in a dream i wrote a song. I couldnt remember it though. All i know is it wasnt a song i have ever listened to.

Oh, yeah that's cool. It's amazing too hear really cool music in dreams, and wake up and realise your mind made it all! I've written stuff in my dreams also, but ended up forgeting later. Too bad cause it was better than the stuff I've already done.

I usually ignore DC's, since they're not even real people and all, but sometimes I talk to them. Here's an excerpt from my dream journal of my most interesting and memorable conversation with a DC:

I'm sitting on the edge of my brother's bed, talking to 2 DC's who are sitting on the other side of the bed, leaning their backs against the wall; a white guy and a white girl, both roughly my age. I ask them, "So what's it like to be a dream character? Just a figment of somebody's imagination?" The girl gets kind of offended at this. She gives me a "look" and says, "We're not just 'figments of somebody's imagination.'" They go on to explain how they have a consistent dream world/community set up. Every time that I go to sleep I visit their world, and when I'm awake they still exist, I'm just absent from their world until the next time I dream. The DC's have complex relationships with each other, jargon that I'm not familar with, the works; according to them, it's like a parallel universe. I ask them if it's the same world that everyone goes to when they dream. They don't really understand my question so I rephrase it. "Let's say that I have a dream in which I meet a dream character named Bob. Then let's say that a friend of mine has a dream in which he meets a dream character named Fred. Would Bob be able to meet Fred in the dream world?" They look at each other. "Eh... I don't know about that..." they reply. Basically no. I mention that it must suck that they can never leave the dream world. They say it isn't so bad.[/b]

DCs don't always respond the same for me when I tell them that I'm dreaming and that they are a DC. Sometimes they deny it, sometimes they are like "duh," and sometimes they seem completely indifferent or think that I'm crazy.

Hmm. That's interesting. Too be honest I never talk that much in my dreams, so I can't really remember actual dialog. But when you mentioned that parallel dream world thing, that reminded me of a lucid I had way back when I was 13. I had this dream where I found out that every time we fall asleep, we go into their world, but whenever they go to sleep, they come into ours. Also, every person in this world supposedly had an exact copy of them living in the dream world, and vice versa. In the dream, I wanted to get back into my world, so I went into this building to jump from one of the floors, so I would wake up. Some of the dream characters saw what I was trying to do and tried to stop me, since according to them, I was commiting suicide! I ended up going through with it tho, and before I hit the ground I woke up. But yeah, it's interesting to see what your mind creates for people to do in your dreams.

Many years ago a DC version of my dad told me im dreaming and got me lucid

Why not prepare a survey for your DC's and memorise it before bed?
Try and remember one characters answers and note them in you dream journal.
I might even try this one myself

what are dcs?


dream characters nvm

Hah most of the time if i try and tell DC\'S this is a dream they panic and run off

well then just make sure after u complete it to post the answeres here cause im curious now, and if i remember to ask a dc that then ill email you i just always have all these things to do when i become lucid and when i get there i never remember

DC-"Isn't it obvious some one was murdered in our house"
I said "how"
DC- "someone picked up a chef and hit him against a teacher"

lol. . . this made me giggle for like a minute. . .

also. . . for people that make up music in their dreams frequently. . . maybe you should get a tape recorder to keep next to your bed so when you write some dream music you can hum it into the tape recorder upon waking with any of the words you can remember. . . it might not help you become a world famous musician but it could help you recall the dream song years later when the tune has faded from your memory. That's definitely a memory I wouldn't want to lose.

But they always deny being dream characters.

There's a reason for that.

The next time any of you has a lucid dream, ask a character this question:

"How many dimensions are there?"

And don't post the answer here. Instead, click on my blog and e-mail the answer to me.

Im curious to find out the end result of this "experiment", and what exactly the point was. plz tell

I tried to converse with a DC once,
there were two and I wanted one to leave so it would be a 1 on 1 conversationg so I said "Robbie your gone" to get rid of one (I seemed to know his name) but they both stood up to me as if "You don't tell us what to do."

It was a very ominous feeling

Whenever I talk with DC's they just act and talk just like that person would in real life... but if I touch on the subject that I'm dreaming and they're a DC, they try to get away from me as fast as possible.

Me-"Whats the meaning of life?"

DC-"I love pigs"

I love talking to dream characters when i can remember to or the opportunity arises, and they are almost always very helpful.

Recently I had an increadibly romantic dream (you know the ones) that ended up being luicd. I was lucid for quite a while but didn't know how to bring it up. I felt the dream slipping away so I interupted my dream girl (anima) and asked her if she was dreaming or whether she was a character in my dream. She looked a little sad and said, "I've been thinking about that a lot recently."

"So you're a dream character then?" She seemed even more forlorn so I went to reassure her that I was perfectly happy with her being a part of me (as I was).

Before I could though she said, "doesn't that make us like Yin and Yang though?"

"Yes! Absolutely!" I replied excitedly, which made her really happy. I miss her.

In another dream I told my sister that we were lucid, and that she could prove it to herself by holding her nose and breathing through it. She scolded me lightly for interupting her story. After she finished she remarked, "That is a good technique isn't it!?"

I think we dream all the time, not just during sleep and R.E.M. and that reality there is as valid and real as reality here. I also believe that a dream takes place in a higher more "collective" realm (like the astral plane and higher) where the "subconscious" creates the dream as opposed to our normal consciousness, usually as a series of "hallucinations". If we strip a dream of the hallucinations that comprise it (by intending to), we are left with the "collective/astral" reality.

Peace,

Rob.

Amyone who is able to converse with "dream characters" should contact me.

I summoned Brad Pitt one time and he came to teach six of us how to have sex. He said something like "I'm tough and sexy so I need a threesome to do it right!" You know what he did? He divided us into three groups of two.

I named my dream "Brad Pitt - Smartass of the Fort."
