Thread: Using Lucid Dreaming for Answers

Very interesting thread. I am particularly interested in the interaction with DC's.

I have been LDing for years on and off. mainly spotaniuose DILDs. During these times, I have had many interesting conversations with DC's. In one vivid LD, the DC was my best friend. So vivid was the experience, I felt compelled to ask him "are you actually here sharing my dream?" he explained that he was only the the manifestation of my memories of him and that I was actually talking to my own mind. (not the kind of words my real friend would have used at all).

I have told DC's to shut up and mocked them because I know that they dont even exhist.

Recently I found myself consoling a DC who was sobbing when she realised that SHE didnt really exhist.

I think that there are profound answers to be had. But as you mentioned earlier, its all about discerning what is real and what is imagined. In alot of my dreams, I'm not even me but somebody else. I dont agree that its a waste of a LD to persue this. I'm getting pretty bored of flying now and am looking for new things to do while in LD.

wow thats pretty interesting. anyway i agree that it is not a waste (of course, i started the thread ) and we should definitely explore these things in our LDs if we can.

Ok, I've decided to change my direction plan. This past night I had a lucid dream where I was trying to summon myself again to talk to it directly. This did not work out again. *sigh*. There were some DCs around so I proposed the question "Does anyone have anything they think I should know??" (Or something along those lines).

They all (four) started to come up to me and talked about different subjects. I thought this was incredible. Yet all at once made it completely incomprehensible.

My next lucid I was in conversation with just one DC and asked him if there was anything that he thought I should know. He opened up on a topic that reminded me alot of A Waking Life [how the guy just goes around listening to random topics]. ...It seems I have ADD in my dream world as well....

Now, this guy started to talk to me about a subject matter that I had never heard before, with dialect that was supierior to my own (Graduate level). I think it had to do with human existence but am not sure because I was more focused on what he looked like, how he was expressing himself, and the idea that this guy was talking about something on a level that I was even having problems comprehensing. I even noticed I no opionions of my own because I have never thought of this before.

In short, if we give DCs the power to talk freely, we might be able to tap into a sort of universal conscienceness. At least, from my experience last night, this is what I am starting to believe.

We may start, if given the ability to let DCs express themselves, to find the answers we're looking with less of our thoughts and oppionions interfereing with the knowledge that we gain and continue to post them here.

thank you for your help to put this thread one step forward! this is really interesting and I should try harder to make the same attempts that you have

good work, thats really interesting

This is a really interesting thread. I have often wondered similar things to what are posted in this thread, but seen as i have only just recently started acheiving LDs, and cant even fly it may take me a while to do what i want.

I want to try out talking to my DCs about things and seeing what they come up with. I really want to try things like hearing made up music and seeing pictures that my mind has made up.

This thread has given me my first dream goal!

I find this thread very interesting too. I had very few encounters with dream characters, my dream world seems to be lacking DCs or maybe I haven't look hard enough for them...
Either way I'm doing the same thing , my main goal is to have conversations with DCs.

OK i haven´t read the Whole thread sorry but this i my Opinion.

In My Lucid Dream i flew Over a Nearly perfect Rome, when someone would ask me how Romw Looks and where i which Monument and so on i could not tell..but in My Dream i Knew it so i think when we are in LD we have much more Information...maybe it has something to do with that we when we are awake only use 2-3% of our Brain...i think
