Thread: Recurring DC who I'm married to?

There's a little chapter in the book 'Exploring the World of Lucid Dreaming' about problem DCs. Can't type up the whole thing, but here's the main parts:

To have a good dream dialogue, you should treat the dream figure as being your equal, as in the example. The following questions may open up fruitful lines of dialogue with dream figures:
"Who are you?"
"Who am I?"
"Why are you here?"
"Why are you acting the way you are?"
"What do you have to tell me?"
"Why is such-and-such happening in this dream?"
"What do you think or feel about such-and-such?"
"What do you want from me? What do you want me to do?"
"What questions would you ask of me?"
"What do I most need to know?"
"Can you help me?"
"Can I help you?"

Set a goal for yourself that the next time you have a disturbing encounter with a dream character you will become lucid and engage the character in dialogue.

Stay and face the character,and begin a dialogue with one of the opening questions from the list above. Listen to the character's responses, and try to address his, her, or its problems as well as your own. See if you can come to an agreement or make friends. Continue the dialogue until you reach a comfortable resolution. Then be sure to awaken while you still remember the conversation clearly, and write it down.

And there's a bunch more in there. But hopefully that's enough to help you a bit

I've been trying to get some recurring characters going, mostly my buddy Afiel, but he's pretty stubborn about it. I've had a lot of fun with him though, in the dreams where I can successfully summon him up. And he even remembers all the stuff we did in the last dreams So having a recurring DC can be awesome if they're your friend. Hopefully you guys can come to an agreement and become friends.
