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

@DoctorYikes I think he respects her as a close friend, not a sex partner.

It was a joke.

Can't wait to stay updated Hyu. Hopefully the rest of your winter break will yield some more interesting experiences before I have to start school

I want to open a portal but I suddenly realize the place is too far away, I don't have enough energy, at least not right now.
The planet is in the Andromeda galaxy... it is very far away.

I have a quick question: Why do you think distance exists in your dream? If a dream is even more subjective than physical reality, and as far as I'm concerned the DC/SG/whatever you want to call it/her is not in the material world, why should you, in your own mind, be limited by distance? Rather, I'm confused why you associate the "consumption of energy" (I personally don't believe in it and am very materialistic/hard-core athiest, but I have some years of experience with the occult/New Age stuff) with physical distance. At least for me, the notion of "distance" doesn't exist in my dreams; it's only used so that I, the dreamer, will not become utterly confused by the dream's apparent added complexity.

I'm curious. Therefore I am not attacking you, Hyu, so don't take my response directly at heart. As aforesaid, I'm just curious on what exactly your beliefs associated with "energy" are.

I have summoned countless number of things in my dreams, have changed my dream-scape a multiple amount of times, morphed my own body for personal reasons (), with some other actions I can't think of at the moment. I've never felt tired in my dreams; do you think your perceived feeling of mental fatigue is really just a self-placed illusion?
I'm aware I am offering anecdotal evidence, therefore you are free to disagree.

This reminds me of the famous Morpheus quote: "Do you think that's air you're breathing now?" (from The Matrix)

You're right of course, and I'm not going to disagree with anything you've mentioned.

I'm writing down all my DJ entries the way I experience the dreams, not the way I rationalize them after waking up.
So, if in my dream, I feel like I can't overcome a distance, I will write down that I couldn't.
This doesn't mean that I think the distance should have played a role after I wake up.

I'm not sure why you relate energy consumption to religions or the occult.
I am an atheist myself, and I don't really know anything about the occult/New Age stuff you've mentioned.
It's just what I experience in my dreams, this is the only way I know how to describe it.

On a side note, the whole concept of being able to fully control my dreams is quite new to me.
Yes, I have had lucid dreams all my life, but I've only read about it like 4 months ago.
Before that, I've never talked to anyone about my dreams.

Ah...The Matrix

I just wanted to avoid a flame war. Nasty little things.

No, I understand perfectly what you mean. I used to have a couple of dreams where my vision was frozen in one spot. Didn't make sense whatsoever since I'm only a floating identity in my dreams, but nevertheless I was convinced my eyes were glued. It was only after some reflection and trying out some methods that the symptom went away. Cheers for dreams.

The concept of energy has a high possibility of being supernatural, since for the last century or so there hasn't been evidence of an energy that humans can tap into with their mind. Therefore the concept of energy, its types, usage, et cetera has mostly been explored by the occult/New Age stuff. Usually there's a religious belief attached to the supposed energy practice, so I stay on the safe side by stating I'm an atheist; people start to understand I really am a guy who only has experience, but is not planning to make any new ones with New Age-y stuff. However, you have stated that your view of energy only lies in your dreams; therefore you can disregard my particular comment concerning energy. I wasn't sure you were referring to the New Age definition of energy

I know what you mean. The only place I was able to find people who were willing to talk about lucid dreams was when I was 13 (internet). I started lucid dreaming when I was 5, so for the 8 years of ignorance about lucid dreaming I just honed my skills. Of course, my level of control quickly escalated when I researched about lucid dreaming, read some of LaBerge work, and other things of the sort. Good luck on your journey to hone your skills Assuming you want to.
