      What is the best way to interact with dream figures?

      What degree of control do you have over dream figures, generally?

      And do you use assertive commands, passive expectations, or being kind to get figures to do what you want? I.e., telling you stuff or maybe even being dedicated to outright giving you lucidity each time yoy dream.

      Hi StygianThemis! I have tended to want to be kind to dream figures and assume they are as sentient as me.

      I would treat them and interact with them the same way I would to people in waking. It's been something I been doing ever since I been consciously lucid. Only few times I commanded DCs are when they are being hostile or when they are about to attack me. In those cases, I would also append it with kind request to be more friendly.

      DC's are mostly very accomodating to me and I just ask nicely or imply what I want. If they are difficult, violent or disrespectful I tend to loose patience much more quickly than I would in waking life.

      If such a thing is possible, I probably have a bad reputation in the dream world and the characters are just being nice so I won't get mad

      Depends of the figure and what they are doing, most of the time however I am a very agressive dreamer and tend to make them submit by force

      I've recently been leaning that way, myself, impulsively. Have you noticed if they respond equally with aggression in your dreams or do they always submit?

      And, have you noticed it negatively or positively impacting your lucidity?

      Hello, Charles. That's what I've read you should do. :/ Treat them well, because they are you.

      Have you noticed any enhanced or more consistent lucidity due to treating figures well? Or ever tried asking dream figures to make you lucid during dreams?

      I noticed this, as well: losing patience. I asked a dream figure for two separate things, and he replied no each time. I ended up responding with domineering aggression and demanding he obey me, which shocked me a bit.

      Hmm. That happened to me a couple nights ago, I guess. The dream figures referred to me as "Hitler" while changing into servant attire, after I blasted one of them for not telling me what I wanted to know. >_> They didn't seem upset, though. Just matter-of-factly "Okay Hitler." xD Made me feel kinda bad for blasting a couple of them.

      I have noticed harmonious lucid dreams being more stable. I never talk to my DC's as if they are dream characters or as if I'm in a dream. I don't know what'll happen if I do that and I'm not very keen to find out. I only bring up dreaming if they do so themselves. Only DC that openly talks about dreaming and lucidity is my SO's DC as well as a hyperconscious entity that claims to be her after my SO's passing. This one gives me several prompts to trigger lucidity on a regular basis and has made me lucid several times. Occasionally she even keeps the dream stable for me. I can tell my SO's DC and this entity apart though they look mostly the same, sometimes this entity embodies my SO's DC blending into the dream. I can talk to her freely about the dream. ^^

      Well I am not perfect in that. Sometimes I naturally am kind towards Dream Figures. Other times I have flipped out and stuff.

      It depends most of the time. Some will just submit due to fear, while some others try to fight me back. It sometimes spans over several dreams where they try to attack me back, but it doesn't really works.

      Neither, I get lucid like normal regardless of how I am acting with the DCs. Actually, when I treat them nicely tend to take a bit longer than normal to become lucid.

      I've generally had an antagonistic relationship with my dream figures. A lot of my earlier dreams were of being chased around, attacked, or imprisoned by them. When I first started learning lucidity, my newly discovered flying abilities helped a lot.

      Since then, I think it's become pretty natural for me to see them as opponents or potential sparring partners.

      Generally, I have a positive and benevolent relationship with dream figures, and even shy and timid with them. Nonetheless, I do have the occasional antagonistic encounter, usually for 'breaching' dream laws.

      Deep in the human unconscious is a pervasive need for a logical universe that makes sense. But the real universe is always one step beyond logic.

      That is interesting. What kind of dream laws?

      I treat dream characters mostly as I treat people in the real world: with kindness, unless they are cruel to me. I do, however, ask strange questions that I would not ask people in real life, because I sometimes receive interesting responses.

      Communication with dream figures is something I happen to not care much in real action for some reason, and I know I need to train it. Formerly, I was quite aggressive, often trying to beat them or rape them. They never fought back. Now I feel bad for this attitude. Can't say whether it impacts my dreaming experience, I myself would like to know the answer. The fact is that I struggle all the time to have frequent LDs.

      Now if I meet a DC, the something inside me usually decides to ignore them, which doesn't satisfy me either. But they are never hostile to me, except for a recent LD where a group of harpies jokingly(?) tied me up and said they would torture me to death. Then I finally lost my patience and reminded them that they were in a lucid dream. They looked down, nodding silently.
