Actually, no. Your mind can create new people based on the people you already saw. I've seen some weird looking people in a dream before which I couldn't have seen in real life.

I once almost murdered two of my friends with a Dragonball Z-styled lazer beam, but they dodged it and left. (Heh, no hard feelings guys.)

Oh, dude. I'm a dream mass murderer with decades of operation. My crowning acheivement was using my most common Dream Power (For some reason, I'm usually telekinetic) to pull down the moon and crash it into the earth. Billions perished. On the more personal level, I've had countless vampire/werewolf dreams... and I usually play the antagonist.

One of my favorite felt very 'The Howling'. I was in Giant Wolf-Dude form, creeping around this crowded roadhouse backed up against the forest. After getting tired of sneaking around, I just barged in and started rampaging. Some of 'em got away.

For me it depends. I get a few dreams where it is like "kill or be killed" and in that instance I have no qualms about killing monsters or people. That being said, do I just go into a dream space and go on a homicidal rampage? no. To me it is like a video game where you are playing and someone is trying to kill you and in order to advance you have to kill them first. The key element here that allows me to act like this is that it is a dream, it's not real. Every form you see is just a figment of your imagination just as in the video game all the "person" is is just some code that has been piped into your TV to become pixels dancing on the screen. In real life, I am one of those people who has trouble swatting bugs and that is because those are real and they are alive and killing them does have an impact on the world around us whereas killing in a dream only has an impact on that dream and nothing else.

Well..
I'm up for some man slaughter tonight...



I suppose I placed there man, wrong

I was going to one time, but then i took an arrow to the knee.

Really? I have no problem swatting bugs, unless of course they're especially large and/or terrifying and I'm worried about angering them (or perhaps because merely touching something so horrifying will cause me to drop dead; I've yet to try it).

The way I see it:
Swatting bug --> bug possibly dies --> possibly one less bug in the world --> slightly better world

So yes, I suppose it does impact the world. That's me, making the world a better place, one bug at a time.

In one of my latest lucids, I ran up to a cop car that stopped by, and I opened the door and pulled out one of the cops pistols from its holster and shot him, but after i shot him the gun jammed and his partner didn't really seem to care/notice that I had killed his partner so I just walked away and did some other stuff..

Meh, I live in a fairly rural area so lots of bugs. Most of them just exist and do their thing and I leave them alone. Like if I find a spider in the house I scuff it on a piece of paper and put it outside. The only time I ever kill bugs is if it is a mosquito, greenhead fly, chigger, or a tick. I draw the line when the bugs are trying to eat me.

I see. That sounds reasonable. I leave bugs alone if they're outside, but if they're inside... Well, that's why I have cats, and that's why I taught them to come when called. They're a little dumb though, so sometimes it takes awhile before they figure out what I'm trying to show them.

Hmmm interesting ay to look at it, but I'm not sure I completely believe it. I've also seen places in dreams that look as real as can be, but that I've never seen in anything in my waking life. So coming up with new faces, in that light, seems even less complex.

I have only killed monsters in my lucids, but in some of my non-lucids I've killed people.

I've also heard that all the faces you see in your dreams are faces you've seen in real life. What I'm not sure, though, is how you could possibly prove or disprove that given the huge number of faces everyone's seen, our inability to consciously remember all those faces, and our inability to see any (much less all) of the faces a person sees in their dream. It would be interesting to see what study, if any, is behind that statement.

Yeah, I've heard that a few times. Not to say it isn't true, but I don't believe it.

To me, that would be like saying that all of the places and clothes and objects and whatnot that you see in dreams are things that you've seen in waking life. I don't think that's the case, and I don't really see why faces would be all that different. Sure, faces imprint on humans very strongly, but when things like expectation, bias and preference have so much weight in dreams, it would make more sense to me that the face of, say, a beautiful woman, would probably be an amalgamation of different sets of lips, eyes, hair (etc.), that you find attractive - not necessarily that you've actually seen before, on the same person.

I've never killed anyone, not in my lucid dreams nor my normal dreams (well, not that I remember, anyway.) I'm such a goody goody.

You'll never get a conviction with no bodies...

I have had probably 10 dreams where I vividly kill someone... and they weren't lucid dreams. If I knew I was dreaming I doubt I'd bother to kill anyone! I only kill bad people in my dreams though, which is a reflection of who I am in in real life. I'd never hurt a fly that was innocent, but if I had joined the military as planned, for example, I wouldn't think twice about killing an enemy.

I answered another thread like this once! I always like reading these responses.

I've had a few close encounters, but I've only actually killed two people.

In a dream once, I was attacked by this group of mean sorts of guys wearing these black sweaters, and their leader was an older man. I immediately grabbed him by the neck and turned him to face them, putting a knife to his throat, yelling, "Come any closer and I'll do it! I will!" They did not heed my warnings and began to close in slowly and giggle at how they thought that I would not do as I had promised. I immediately slit the man's throat, of course not hard enough. A bit of blood flew out and he screamed, "Ow!" and I apologized profusely and slit his throat correctly the second time.

Another dream, I was dating a girl who I know from school and she was threatened with a pistol by another mugger sort of fellow. I walked in to this scene and immediately pulled a pistol of my own out and shot him. He sort of crumpled down the stairs. It was somewhat disturbing in reflection, but during the dream I just felt good because I had protected someone I loved.

Then another time, I didn't actually KILL this person, and I don't know how. I was playing a sort of online game where the goal was simply to kill the entire enemy team. But anything went, because we weren't limited to controls, just anything we could do. I got in a fight with this tall girl with short fire-red hair. We were pulling pistols on each other and shooting and somehow we could just never hit each other. Eventually we both ran out of ammo, and she smiled and began to charge me. I didn't know if I could fight her hand to hand as she had already showed so much acrobatic prowess. I immediately picked up the nearby chainsaw, started it, and ran it through her stomach and out of her back. I let that run a bit and yanked it back out as she fell to her butt on the ground.

She yelled, "Ow! Jeez! Ruptured SPLEEN."

She grumbled a little and began to walk away, and I couldn't help but turn off the chainsaw, throw it aside, and yell, "Hey, so-... Wanna get some dinner or something sometime?"

Not even people with giant holes in their body created by my driving force to stay alive are safe from my pathetic attempts to garner a decent relationship.

This is going to sound Fd up. But yesterday during a nap I killed a baby, horribly. I remember feeling sickened the entire time, and I only continued to put it out of its misery. I was not lucid, but this made me become lucid. I was looking for a spot to dispose of the baby but there were people everywhere, then it suddenly hit me I was dreaming and it was ok. I'm not scarred for life, but I can remember the horrible feeling, I'll probably forget what it felt like in a few days though.

Lol that cracked me up!

I have only had a few lucids, never killed anyone in them but I did happen to stab someone to death in a reg. with a "dream buddy"(only knew them in that dream). But there was a good reason to this, he actually pushed someone in front of a truck earlier in the dream so i felt justified for what i did and did not have any weird or sad feelings when i woke up.

I would not kill anybody in a lucid, just like I would not jump off a cliff or drive a car into a wall. I don't want to ever get really drunk and think I am dreaming and then do something outrageous. I also have a history of sleep walking, and I don't want to die because of thinking I am only dreaming. I float off cliffs and out windows before I start flying instead of just jumping. What I do in lucids is either impossible in real life or safe in real life. I never deviate from that.
