Thread: A recurring DC in my dreams which doesn't behave like any other DC's

Your description of a SG does fit remarkably well.
As mentioned earlier, she did say that she was an inhabitant of the dream world, and she is very knowledgeable about it.
She also has full access to all my memories, including all my thoughts and emotions.

Mate, every dream character you create is an inhabitant of the dream world and would be knowledgeable (if you assigned that attribute to them) about that dream world because you created it and the the rules within it. Furthermore, every dream character you create has access to all your thoughts and feelings. They are, for goodness sake, parts of you! They're all a reflection of yourself no matter how fragmented and slight each of them may be in their representation of your greater personality.

It worries me when people are so quick to equate stuff like this to some crazy, mystical, supernatural, apparition.

I couldn't say that better.

It worries me when people are so closed minded. Nobody can really say with any certainty what anything from a dream means or is. I'm not saying my belief lies one way or another, but I'm certainly open to the possibility. Closing off a more spiritual hypothesis seems silly to me when you don't actually know any better than the guy looking for an explanation.

You apparently do not understand the difference between DCs, a SG, your Inner World, and the Dream Plane. I will explain it.

A DC is something created by your subconscious, or if, you're lucid, your conscious. A SG is not something created by you, but rather an actual entity that resides on the dream plane. Now, your Inner World is basically your own dream bubble, sorta like your house. Now, the Dream Plane is something you can access when you leave your "house", which the SG can access anytime she wants (either the "house" or dream plane). So, really, a SG is in a way a part of you, but not in a way that DCs are. Similar to a relationship between a mentor and a student, which can be strong at most times. DCs are your own creation, SGs aren't.

Do your research before coming to conclusions so quickly. Also, you can't be rational with this subject because it is in a dream setting, and dreams are in no way rational. You should be able to say that yourself, as you should have some form of dream recall at this point.

Also, I'm not equating it to be something supernatural, I simply narrowed down the possibilities until I got to something supernatural. Neither a DG nor a DC adds up to what he described, so I firmly believe it is a SG.

Oh I get it. And In my opinion it's nonsense.
And as for telling me to do my research; I refuse to read books written by hippies who can't accept exactly how bland they, in fact, are.
Furthermore, I suggest you check out some Jungian theory before you try to throw your weight around as the character he's describing comes close to fitting the persona's proposed therein. Carl Jung is thought to be one of the most well known pioneers in the field of dream analysis, the fact that a large majority of people on this website overlook his work is amazing.

Hyu, sweet dreams. I hope you draw a conclusion from your dreams that you can accept and work with.

How does that fit in with what he described?! I don't see very much connection whatsoever! I feel that a DG explanation would make more sense than that!

First off, this isn't dream analysis. We are just trying to find an explanation for what she is. Second, I would like to know how he would feel very happy around a different part of himself. If it was his female persona then he would feel equal with her! Obviously he doesn't feel equal with her, so you can't really say that it is a female persona of him. You can't feel inequality with yourself, as it just doesn't make sense! If you actually read through my explanation of a SG and assume it isn't part of some dream plane theory and whatnot you might actually find that it fits his description of the character really well! And just how hard would it be to explain a female persona? In his most recent dream post he said that she said that it was too complicated for her to explain to him what she was. Like I said before, how is a female persona complicated? And how would they know more about the dream world as you? They're a part of you, they share the same memory and skills, so why should she be superior to him?

Have fun trying to answer all of those questions.
