Thread: lcdmado's Workbook

Hello lcdmado! Welcome to DV and Intro class!

I have heard some accounts from other members that their DCs seem to become upset or deny that they are in a dream (or that you are in a dream). Personally, this doesn't happen in my dreams probably because I don't have that expectation. What your DCs will do will depend a lot on your expectations/schema. With a bit of practice you can learn to control these things and DCs reactions will change accordingly.

So, two things come to mind - if faced with DCs try not to think about them behaving this way. The other alternative which I would also try is to ignore them - ignore what they are saying or ignore their existence. If you stop paying attention they should disappear.

Thank you! I think because of what you said, my DCs didn't do that when I said I was asleep. One of them responded by saying something like "Hm, well do you think you're asleep?" That actually helped me become more lucid.

Sorry for this other question, but how do you know if you've met a dream guide and not another DC? The person who asked if I thought I was asleep, I was very lucid and asked them if they were my dream guide. I think they either said yes or maybe. I don't remember what we talked about, but they changed into an owl. The dream started to fade twice and I almost woke up both times, but I managed to keep the dream going. The person was still there both times when the dream came back into focus. Could they have been my dream guide, or another DC?
