DC Said Whats the heck is a "Dream"

**TheBooneMan** · 08-02-2013 09:41 PM

So the other night, I had a dream and I became Lucid at some futuristic bedroom. There were 2 people along with me in the bedroom and I told them "Consciously" I was dreaming. And they said "You were what"? And then I told them repeatedly that I was saying the word Dream. And no matter what I said, they thought that I was saying words like 'Cream, Theme, and upstream'. I even asked them to remind me every 30 seconds that I was dreaming and they refused. So.... Why didn't they know what the word dream was and why did they refuse to remind me?

Plz Help

every dream character is different and they range from being less aware than a fart in a trance to having more knowledge of your mind than you yourself. in this case, its the former. as for refusing to help you, its either a lack of confidence with regards to dream control or the subconscious doing what it loves: being maddeningly unhelpful

It could also be that your subconscious has a sense of humor, and it was playing a joke at your conscious expense.

Ya, well is it possible to ask a DC to do something for you such as what I did in my dream? If you get the right character, will they remind you that you are dreaming? Or better yet, can you ask them to...... maybe... get a beer or any sort of object for you? Will they actually go out of their way to get you that precious beer

?

DCs are strange beings. Strange as hell. I'd say just not to read into it a lot, they just do and say strange things. Check out this thread for a long list of strange, wacky and hilarious things other peoples' DCs have said/done. It's a good read

If you ask someone who you'd expect to, or expect them to, then yes. They are still an extension of yourself, and dreams work through expectations. Expect something to happen, and instinctively know that it will, then it will. You can do whatever you want

oh, ok! THx man, means a lot! Speaking of DC characters, do you know what is the best way to make certain people appear in your Lucid Dreams?

**splodeymissile** · 08-02-2013 11:35 PM

depends on the setting, really. you could walk round the corner and expect to find them standing there. if there are any buildings nearby, walk into them, expecting one to be within. there's quite a few ways. i personally assume everyone can teleport and that they want to visit me just as i want to see them.

In my opinion, DCs are one of the funniest parts of the dream world (if you include any "character" like a dragon or other things that speak). At first they can be annoying, but last night my dream sister (the DC version) picked out a movie for us to "live out" she chose nightmare on elm street and as soon as I saw Freddy, I realized that I was dreaming. Not the most aware start to an LD, but it works.

so I'd like to thank my dream sister and Freddy for my lucid last night.
