Well, who else's wants and desires would your dreamself crave? Nobody's but yours!

I like to think of my non-lucid dreamself as everything that my mind contains, except for my consciousness. Memories, desires, fears, even body functions -- too much pizza and beer causing indigestion will affect dreams.

So, greed, humor, desire, anger, plus observations and unconscious decisions all come into play. Fear and desire. A great many things that I do not usually associate with my waking self. Lucid dreaming adds just one more thing to the mix: the conscious self. It is as if the conscious gets to play directly with the unconscious. And, in that play, the conscious self can come in contact with aspects of the unconscious that are usually submerged.

I like LDs exactly because I can find out who I really am, "up close and personal."
