That was a Task of the Month last year:

There were a ton of interesting experiences.

Without going to crazy over the real definition of 'subconscious', I assume that every time I experience something unexpected in a lucid dream, it is my subconscious. For example, if I ask any DC questions, and their responses are not what I expected, it is communication with my subconscious.

You can also ask your dream world questions directly. Maybe look in a mirror and ask "Who is the fairest of them all?" Or tell yourself, "When I open this door, it will lead to my greatest fear." You get the idea.

Wow, i just read the replies on that thread and there were some pretty cool ones, specially the one that responds "because when we dream we're born" or something like that

Subconsciousness... 19th century freudian era bullshit. Why don't you get yourself updated first?

By "subconscious", most of us probably aren't referring to any actual 'thing' inside of you that knows everything about you that you can't come up with yourself. It's just a term for your inner thoughts, the ones that you might feel but not easily recognize, or that may be weighing in on your mind that you don't consciously realize are there. Personally, I'm aware that your 'subconscious' can't produce much of any new information that you hadn't previously known on some level anyway.

Next time, don't bother posting to try to 'inform' us on this. We'd rather not be forced to deal with such negative input like that.

theoretically you can summon your Dream Guide...which is just your subconcious...i dont anything personally but it might be possible and i am not trying to ressurect any old threads

I'm sorry if this came out too negative, nevertheless the term "subconsciousness" is used by most in the meaning of freudian psychology or even worse not being defined at all.

Do you know of a better term? One that carries less baggage?

As far as I learned, modern psychology - which sees itself in it's early development state - considers the brain to be a collection of very specialized problem solving resources and does not deny the possibility of non-local consciousness.

You got to get away from the unsustainable idea that everything can be traced back to some kind of brain function. We know next to nothing about the universe and even less about ourselves. We don't even need the term subconsciousness. It describes nothing.

Dreams are reality, not the one we use when awake, but no less real. Some people are using excuses like "it's all just imagination" to behave like a bull in a china shop and rape everything that looks like boobs when dreaming. That is the same stupid behavior that causes so much damage in our waking reality. There is no scientific proof that dreams are your individual, personal and meaningless (in a broader sense) imagination. That's how it is.
