I dreamt I saw a person who told me they knew the name of a sports guy though I have no interest in sport. I wonder if by questioning DC we can recover information that is stored in our subconcious and forgotten about us e.g If you watch the news and they mention the name of an assailant thats quickly forgotton. If you asked your dream self the name remembered it and wrote it down then looked it up on the internet would the name be true?
Possibly, but the main challenge is to distinguish things you notice (put conscious effort into experiencing), and things you take in unconsciously.Quote:

Now how you manifest that possibility in your sleep is a whole another thing.
When you ask your dream self and believe they are responsible of being the medium of transferring thoughts from the unconscious --->subconscious---> then to you, it can make the difference in receiving accurate and direct feedback instead of vague metaphors.
If you know you noticed the experience of whatever skill, ability, knowledge, etc. before, than it can come a lot quicker.
But if it's something that was taken unconsciously, and you want to see if it is contained there, it will take more effort in making sure you ask general questions that can lead on to more specific questions that can be answered from your dream self/dream guide/subconscious.
So in a nutshell,
- You can place the belief that your dream self is the medium that transfers this information from the unconscious directly to you to possibly get accurate results instead of vague metaphors the subconscious usually portrays to give you a sign/meaning. (And that can be done through mantras and affirmations when you are going to sleep and/or during WBTBs).
-And if it's information that you are in doubt that is stored in your unconscious, then putting more effort, but breaking down complex questions into manageable and general terms for your subconscious to receive information from could yield results (in some form of a "yes" or "no" manner).
hmm when i'm more experienced ill try that theory
