thanks for the read!!

Ive been having trouble with lucid dreaming actually. For a long time actually, I began to see no point in it. Ive always felt that dreams were meaningful, at least to the extent that they reveal things about your own psyche. Show you how you can be a different person.

I've had dozens of memorable and meaningful dreams, but only a tiny fraction were lucid. Playing with lucid control, like controlling the environment, or manipulating things quickly bored me. My non lucid dreams are more, spontaneous, mysterious, and leave me wanting more. So these days, Ive been very passive if I have a lucid dream, more like traveling in the dream world rather than trying to manipulate it at every turn

Its nice to see how you can bring back some of the meaning into a lucid dream rather than just dream control. Ive never really thought about asking dream characters questions.

The last few times I asked dream characters questions, I got, well, questionable results

this one dream character had been creating several nightmares. I finally got tired of this dream character creating so many nightmares, and confronted her in a lucid dream. We had a little chat first, and she explained to me, that she was a real person, not a dream character. And that she was in control, not me. Well, I got fed up of her claiming that she was in control of my own head - so I uh - killed her in the lucid dream. But before I did, she begged for mercy and cried out that she meant no real harm.

She never showed up in my dreams again.

But she wasn't the last of the dream characters who would tell me, that they were real people. I'm not sure what this means. I mean, I even got the point where I began harassing these self proclaiming real people for their full names, addresses and phone numbers. Just in case I was actually interacting with real dreamers.

Nothing ever came up of course.

Were the dream characters saying they are real people, as an aspect of myself? or is it really that no one can remember their bloody house number properly?
