That sounds amazing, and its something I'll definitely try once I get more control of my dreams and once I get the balls to look an angry DC character in the eyes and destroy him by the force of will alone. Congrats |

My theory on Dream Characters is that they are actually autonomous, or even self aware, entities living in the subconscious realm, able to "clothe" themselves as different characters, but remaining basically the same. Some are friendly, some indifferent and some are actually hostile. |

I believe that all the DCs are your subconscious, you believe you destroyed him for good, it probably happened, or if you forget about something in a dream, it doesn't exist unless you think about it again. Believe what you want though. |

That sounds pretty interesting. But personally I would never be able to kill a DC, even though I believe they're just something my mind came up with, and not entities or something more than day residue. |

We all live in a kind of continuous dream. When we wake, it is because something,
some event, some pinprick even, disturbs the edges of what we have taken as reality.

Have questions about lucid dreaming? DM me.
I've used this method to absorb and destroy dark/fear-based creatures. Ghosts and monsters and such. It's quite effective in the short-term, though I wouldn't go so far as to claim that they were independent entities. I was just trying to avoid a nightmare. |

It's funny; I just had another one last night. |

I was kind of hoping to discover a universal method of killing DCs that would be the same for everyone, but it seems that it's like dreams themselves, that the method is different for each individual. It seems to be more symbolic than absolute. Oh well, that in itself is a discovery. Or maybe Samael is just pulling my leg. |

Why would you want to kill any DC? They represent a part of you, and maybe you should try to understand them rather than kill them. I am not sure, but maybe you have been playing too many video games where you kill people, and that seems like the "thing to do". I was reading a few posts here from "kids" who encounter all kinds of hostile DC's, and I'm guessing that the reason they encounter them, is because of the video games, and the feeling that they give you ....sort of makes you subconsciously want to "kill anything that moves". I like video games as much as the next person, but I think if you play them too much and if they are a big part of your life...then they also become a big part of your subconscious activities. The real world is more fun I think...and less antagonistic. |
|
So if a DC is repeatably kept stabbing you, would you let him?? Video Games I don't think are the reason, just being able to kill someone without actually killing someone might be it. Killing someone in a dream is no different from thinking of killing someone in your mind, except the vividness, in my opinion. Though I don't kill any of my DCs unless they mean me harm. |

Also, DCs are not only the human shaped ones, but everything within dreams that seems alive, so not that hard to kill them in lucids, for those who say they wouldn't bring themselves to. |

Very lively and interesting discussion! How about looking at it this way. It has to do with point of view. The center of consciousness, looking out at other beings around it. The dreamer is the point of view of the dream. The other DCs in your dream do not have this point of view, so they cannot be you, kill you or harm you in any way. Having had years of yoga and meditation experience, I believe this to be true. |
|
Thats probably related to your trail of thought or just random occurrence. Usually, depending which way the dream goes dictates how DCs will respond. |
|
It's not split screen or anything, lol. It's more like when you're daydreaming in real life with your eyes open. You can still see everything that's going on around you, but your focus is on the images playing inside your head. |
|
Well i havent had two points of view IN a dream but I have had two points of view WHILE dreaming. I was awake and I had my eyes open but i was dreaming at the same time. I could see with both my dream eyes and my real eyes. The images were put with one on top of the other and depending on my focus I either saw my walls as transparent with solid dream world around me or the dream world a transparent projection onto my walls. |

I accept that my reality is always a dream so if something changes I know I'm right.

I think what you're describing is still really only one point of view, because, although you're seeing two interlaced or overlapping scenes, the "you" that is seeing them is still only one "you". To be split into two points of view would require you to have two "selves", or to be in two places at the same time. I don't think that's possible for one self. It would have to be two separate selves. |

But that is exactly what it felt like. Being in two places at once. I knew that only the body laying in my bed was real but I had full senses of the other body. I just described the visual part of it but it went so much deeper than that. Like I could feel myself laying on my back on my bed but i could also feel the wind on my back because in the dream I was outside. I could move both bodies independatly of the other. I wasnt really in two places at once but it felt like I was |

I cant imagine being in two places at once either but I have felt it. Though i know it wasnt real and I will likely never experience it again |
