Thread: Has Anyone Ever Met Themselves.

Very Good Question!

Ive not met myself yet, but always wanted to have a conversation with myself, i guess my inner voice is in a way communication with myself but not in a Lucid Dream.

"Holodecks" now thats an interesting concept for lucid dreams

I love Star Trek (and im Very Drunk).

You just got me wondering..........Is the Inner Self the "Higher Self" so many Psychics refer to. Also if dreams are supposed to be Theraputic, if we did meet ourselves could we better our own lives by offering Sound advice to ourselves in a lucid dream.

I met myself in my dream once! unfortuantly...it wasn't an LD...& it was a long time ago, so i really can't remember much about it! ): i do remember the other me was dressed way different than me - me, & she wouldn't say anything she just kept staring @ me....

Were you both of the same age ?. As a bit of an "add on" I read that in the not too far distant future it will be possible to "upload" ourselves into some Giant Mainframe and not even know the difference. Sci-Fi has the interesting habit of coming true. (Ps, I always wondered what happened to those holodeck characters once he had finished doing his Sherlock Holmes impersonation).

I know this is abit geekish but there was a great episode of Star Trek: The Next Generation when one of the characters from the holodeck gained a level of \"consciousness\" through process of thought (i.e. \"I Think Therefore I Am). The crew of the Enterprise just ingnored him for ages. The character was none other than the Nemesis of Sherlock Holmes; Professor James Moriarty. (*it was a cool episode).

Is the Inner Self the \"Higher Self\"[/b]

I think you can communicate with your higher self through meditation.

Yes I have. As the matter of fact, both me and a friend of mine met our alter egos in our dreams. Not so strange actually, since I watched a movie from a lan party where I was. I dreamed that I saw myself sitting at the table... strange, but still it didn't feel strange in the dream. My friend, who also saw this movie, experienced the same thing.

Yeah, but unfortunately, the 'myself' is usually only found in Sci-fis, & is always unconscious, even though I try to talk to her!!

Well i was the same age as myself, but i was wearing a style that i didn't start wearing untill a couple yrs. later! maybe the dream influenced my future personality???

I always thought of the entire dream as myself as a world directed by my subconcious to show me how my life was going.

i have met different forms of myself. It was always in large quantities though. Usually about 30 or 40 clones of me were there.

Many times in my lucid dreams I talk to younger and older versions of myslef. Its funny beacse the ones fomr the past will remember thigns that i thoguht that i have forgoteen, and its nice and interesting to get all of yourslef in the same room.

I can meet myself in LD's by doing the following:

Dividing myself into two:

One is the conciouss me

and the other one is the unconciouss me

Both looks equal, but I have conciouss control in the first one, while the seccond one's answers and thoughts are "authomatic"

I have had interesting conversations with my inconcious this way.

I have on several occasions.
The Two that stand out the most:
I was flying. I came down to earth and I was face to face with myself! Like Barbizzle it was a younger version of myself. It was so unexpecting that I was at a loss for words I ended up loosing my lucidity.
The other was crazy.
I had a mental block in my lucids for about 4 months that I could not get out of my house. The one night as I tried to walk through the wall, who came down from the sky to stop me....myself.
We I or us got into a fist fight. But it does not work to well. Every punch I hit myself with the other me did the exact same thing. I threw a round house and landed it straight on my jaws, I knocked my self conscious. A TKO on myself.

i've met myself, but i wasn't lucid. It was well wierd...
there was like, three of me.
all at once.
and i was looking down at two of me, and the third me was me, standing there, with a sense of person.
if that makes sense...it's in my DJ, but quite far back...

Sometimes when you meet yourself in a Dream, you don't know who you are going to run into.

Once I was walking about in a dream, 'minding my own business', as they say and I went past a mirror, and I could hardly believe what I saw -- instead of old and wrinkled Leo Volont, as I've becomed accustomed to perceive him, I was this slendor young tastefully dressed woman. I was quite impressed, and would have traded places in a second -- I as that particular She seemed so healthy looking -- but then there was the whole thing about peeing sitting down and the problem that women seem to have with toilet seats and so I decided to stay an arthritic old man.

some people would say that seeing yourself as another person, male or female, is the subconcious way of presenting another side to your personality.
Maybe that was your feminine side.
I used to have a problem with toilet seats. but not anymore. There's no point in worrying about it.
And peeing sitting down isn't so bad...unless your back goes, and you get stuck... [/quote]

I have never met myself AS myself in a dream, though I have come close twice. Once was simply when I was done dreaming and was ready to come back to my body, as it were. I got to my bedroom door, and I couldn't will myself to go any farther. The second time I had found within my dream a ring to which I was rather attatched, but which I had lost in real life. So I planned to put it where I used to keep it on the dresser next to my bed. I was aware that I was sleeping and that it wouldn't be there the next morning, but I figured that it would be nice to know that it would be there in essence. Odd thing that it happened to be named Gavanlediolor (literally, "Ring of Dreams"). I got half-way across my room -- and this took ENOURMOUS amounts of mental and metaphysical effort, if you would -- before I fell to one side in the dense pressure of the air around me and was forced awake. That dream left me EXHAUSTED -- but oddly contented. I would not reccommend such endeavors, ar any rate.

I have also met my three-year-old self (when I was ten, and not in an LD), an several Aspects of my Self, inluding my animus (who apparently is a Hindu from India) and my alter-ego.

Of course, I see myself much of the time in my dreams, because I often have my dreams in third-person. But that is different then actually MEETING myself in a dream.

By the way, for those who don't know, an animus is the male aspect of a female, and the anima is the female aspect of a man. Often, these are only revealed in times of disbalance, particularly when one is squashing one's other-gender impulses.

But being a man is so easy that way, there is typically no waiting in the mens rooms as the business is so easy to transact, and when there is no men's room available, we need only look both ways before we simply piss anywhere we like -- an advantage one does not dismiss away too quickly without some certain great compensations.

Well, I think that it is easier sitting down, b/c at least us girls don't get it all over the place!!

That would be kinda cool to meet myself. I wonder what I would have to say. Ahaha.

Haha!
Good point.
I talk to myself during the day enough that maybeI did not really have too much to say each time I met myself in my dreams.

Oh, true.

Well, here's the newbie's first post. Enjoy!

I met myself before. It was kind of funny really. We talked for a while about...oh, I forget. Then some guys kidnapped my other self and stuck her in the trunk of their car. I chased them down and sent a vicious horde of snakes after them. Afterward, I looked toward the trunk and decided I didn't really care that my other self was trapped. We were in a dream and I was playing both me's. I thought I should feel disturbed by my uncaring nature, but why should I care? At least one of me was free. Once I left my other self, I became just one person again.

Welcome to the forum! We hope that you enjoy your stay. That dividing into 2 was so cool!
