Thread: Can you talk to yourself in a lucid dream?

Ok I'm still kind of a noob in being able to realize I'm dreaming, but there's something I really want to know, if anyone has ever accomplished it. I want to have a conversation with my subconscious self -- like a real projection of myself, fully taking on my normal waking form and everything. Is the subconscious powerful enough to allow me to have a one-on-one social session between my conscious and unconscious mind? I feel this should be very possible considering you can imagine to some extent what you look like and how you are perceived by others whenever you want to IWL, combined with the power of spontaneous creation in lucid dreams and the way that dream character's have extremely vivid messages to share and their own personalities. anyone have an LD like this?

Anything you can imagine you can do in a Lucid Dream

Everything is possible in dream, many people have done that, though i haven't done it yet personally, but it's on my huge goal list.

Yes it is possible to talk to your subconscious, I'd recommend you to try a mantra like I will talk to my subconscious or I will ask myself ... if I become lucid.

I would love to talk to my childself.

I have done this :O It was quite short but very interesting. If you wanna check it out, it's the very first entry on my DJ.

@OP: Would it have to be a present version of yourself?

I have experienced this on a few occasions. My most recent being where I met myself at a bar. It was a really spectacular setting, too; a glass box, perhaps suspended off of the side of a high rise, overlooking the city, and the backdrop of stars.
It became pretty self referential when my other self asked me "So, do you come here often?"

My answer was..."Not as often as I should..." and then I proceeded to clink glasses with my other self.
