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

When one of your secondary lives is over, you either go back to the Home World, or start another secondary life, its quite random. In the Home World, everyone and everything is absolutely perfect in every way. In the Home World we all have spouses that we are tied to, they could not be separated at all because they are both perfect for each other. Only one of each couple can be in a secondary life at a time, so you are very likely to meet the other in your dreams, where they are a separate being from your imagination. Since you are "Tied" to them, your dream world is accessible to them as a slimmed down version of the Home World. Most of the people in the secondary worlds are fake, as if a very powerful DC from a dream. There is a bit much more to it, but thats all I can think of for now.

That's an interesting theory, that's for sure.

I found it on google image search... sorry, I have no idea what the original name or source of the picture is.

I have contemplated making an indie game about dreaming for some time now.
A bit of a Myst type game where you visit ridiculous worlds, following "dream logic" to some extend.
It's not really doable in a reasonable period of time though, it requires way too many models and artwork, so I'll keep working on simpler projects instead. (I need to average a certain amount of projects per semester)


Update:
I've actually had 2 more lucid dreams with Yuya, which I have not posted.
They were rather personal (we were talking about decisions I've made in my life, mostly the ones I really regret) and I don't really feel comfortable posting them.

I have however posted my most recent lucid: (long :3)
Spending a night on Teraluna

It was by far the longest lucid I've ever had. (I've actually been experimenting with ways to prolong my dream time)
I've actually had a full dinner in the dream and ended up spending the night.
I also had my first dream within a dream, which I'm pretty sure was about a dream memory.
I really felt like having lucids lasting for over an hour was possible, but I have to admit I was actually quite surprised that I ended up having one.

Holy shit, this is starting to get more romantic! I have a hard time believing this is all happening in a Lucid Dream. It just seems, too real and too logical... BTW, You went to sleep in the dream, had a dream within a dream, and woke up the next day in the dream, that is so bad ass!

Dude, that's awesome. I am going to school to get into the computer animation program. Raven Knight and Warrior Tiger just graduated with B.S. degrees in video game design!

Hyu, thank you for posting all your dreams. Amazing.

Hyu, thank you for posting all your dreams. Amazing.

This just shows that game developers/designers are a creative bunch of people.
In game design classes, my recent game ideas and concept papers have actually been inspired by dreams quite a lot, it really helps.
I recently got my B.S. in Game Development and am currently working on a M.S.

And... seriously, thank you for posting your dreams! I wouldn't be where I am right now without all the inspiration and confidence boost I got from reading your DJ.

Very interesting posts Hyu. I haven't tried lucid dreaming for a couple years, but have gotten quite a lot of inspiration from your thread to do so.

Ive been to sleep in a dream before and had another dream then woke back up in the first dream. It wasnt until I woke back up that I realized it was a dream

Why thank you, you must ask Yuya about it for me, and see how true it is (assuming she is in fact a separate entity and what she says she is).

Why not hire a bunch of 3D modelers and graphics artists? On the XNA forums you can find a large handful that would do it for FREE. And you could do it as a secondary project, and work on a bunch of others at the same time. If you do decide to make this I WILL assist in anyway possible. And if you sell it on steam and Xbox Live Indie Games, you could earn a GREAT amount of money.

You guys should talk to Raven Knight and Warrior Tiger. How about a puzzle game based on dream combat?

Yeah, like some kind of a turn-based game.
I think it would be awesome

This has got to be the most interesting/entertaining thing I've ever come across on the internet, lol. I stayed up all night just reading this particular thread and I swear I was open-mouthed the whole time! How riveting...

Hyu, your LDs are absolutely priceless! I would've said Yuya is just your imagination, but this has really got me thinking. She is so complex and so is this Teraluna. I can't believe some people can experience all this in the same world as people who don’t even bother to give their dreams a second thought. Oh so many of us are missing out on the other half of life!!
Your dream experiences have inspired me so greatly that I just had to post something.:yumdumdoodledum:

It's certainly possible to do this. Once you have a cool prototype showing off your gameplay you usually find some people interested in helping you out.
However, since I'm currently getting my masters degree, I don't really have the time to do it next to the stuff I have to do for my studies.
I'm kind of flooded with work right now. :/

I love the idea of a dream related game though, it opens an infinite amount of game mechanics possibilities.

Mini update: A look into the mirror

I used to want to do game design. Then I realized I just wanted to do something creative, I really got into books in the last couple of years and now I want to be an author. So my plan is, join the marines infantry for like 4 years, if I don't get blown up by an IED, enlist again in the reserves, hopefully get some sort of a college degree, if I like the marines maybe stay 20 years and get a pension. If I get a pension this would give me time to be an author and write some books, hopefully they are good though. I really want to right a fictional novel about lucid dreaming.

Ok, do I at least have the permission to see what I can do with this?

What do you mean?

Seems like it would be pretty hard to find an answer for this without going into the "Is there a higher level of existence?" question, and I think that's a bit too confusing for anyone to discuss. But she may be your SG, she may even be YOU. I have read that you can summon yourself, but one that knows much more than you do. Although I haven't had that much experience with Lucid dreaming, so I can't say for sure. But I think you're very lucky. It isn't just something that you can imagine or summon, it's something that's always there for you. And you never know, she might end up telling you something truly amazing. Instead of trying to find out what she is, I would just try to find out what she knows. Might completely change your perspective on things.

And I was thinking, if you can communicate with Yuya in your dreams, there should be no stopping you from bringing her to your conscious and communicating with her in waking life, you should defiantly try it and see what happens.

What method would you use for this? Wouldnt it be a form of meditation or wild anyway?

Are you referring to me?

If so, yes, meditation would probably work, but I bet if he can during meditation, he would learn to be able to communicate with her whenever he wants.

It is called being inspired, if you were to change the names and alter the plot a bit, hyu can't do shit!

Do not try and fuck a girl. That's impossible. Instead... only try to realize the truth. There is no girl. Then you'll see, that it is not the girl that is fucked, it is only yourself

You know Brady, I don't get your form of communication sometimes. At times you are polite and at other times you seem like a complete fool. Just so you know, it's called "respect" and of course you can steal ideas that originated with other people without their permission, but that is also called something. Inconsiderate. I am sure that other's second my suggestion here but show a little more respect please.

And I also have to state while its on my mind, that your signature seems a little crass for the overall appeal of this site. You should consider changing a couple words, namely the f ones lol.

Of course you can use this as inspiration for a game idea, nothing wrong with that.

I'm not really sure about the whole communicating with her in waking life thing...
I mean, it's an interesting idea, but I don't really see how that would work.
Then again, I've never experimented with meditation or anything like that, so maybe I'm not exactly following you.

My views on the world are, how you say, original. About the signature, I don't see a problem with it, if the mods or admins see a problem with it then I will change it, but I haven't been contacted or received any complaints at all. So it stays. Words are words, it wouldn't matter if I said Fuck or I said Screw, they both mean the same thing. People just see something wrong with the word "fuck", there is nothing wrong with the word, there is only something wrong with people. The whole cuss word thing is stupid, it doesn't matter if I say poop or I say shit, it is only that people associate the word with being bad. Free your mind from petty rules of society.

hmm, i read part of that last dream but stopped when you started singing Phantom of the opera. i've heard part of that song and just the memory of it... *shudders*

Well, it's your mind. Theoretically you could do anything with your mind, like think "This person will vanish", and your mind could edit your vision to make you not see the person. Someone got rid of their cancer by simply believing it wasn't there. So you could defiantly communicate with someone who lives in your mind. Your mind is your canvas.
