I'm not exactly asking "What are some experiences you've had with DCs?" (although feel free to include them if they're relevant) I'm asking what I should expect from DCs when I get my first lucid. Are they mindless, or could you talk to them like real people? DO they maintain a constant form, or do they change into something else every time you look away? Do they do a lot of really weird stuff, or do they try to act like they're in the real world?
I ask because I'm a fairly... um... skittish (<-- Probably not the best possible word) person. If MissingNo. (the glitch from pokemon) was pretty unnerving to me, I can only imagine how quickly I'll snap awake if I'm having a pleasant conversation with a DC, then I look away and they suddenly turn into a pumpkin mech that's spewing cliche prophecies in the form of mariachi music or something. Soooo... yeah.... If you can do so easily, I'd like to still be surprised by my first lucid, so I don't need any, like, lists of stuff that might happen. Just so I have an idea of what to expect.
