Last night I had a lucid in which there were a lot of dream characters. I tried to kiss one of them and she didn't like it so I stopped (this often happens). Afterwards, some other dream characters came after me to punish me for disrespecting their friend. In the next dream, I woke up in a school in which I explained my worries to a school counselor (still lucid). I explained how I was frustrated that DCs were always having their own will about things and I felt a loss of control over my dreams because of it, and I often have to change my plans to respect their wishes.

He explained that it's good that I respect their wills because, in fact, they aren't just my DCs, they have a consciousness of their own, and it's actually really annoying to have people from my planet come and do what they want. They live in a different dimension and they call people from Earth "Trees." In the room were two little kids from Earth who had also crossed over, who were speaking to a woman counselor.

How do you guys feel about respecting DCs? Have you had similar conversations with teachers from 'different dimensions'? Do you believe the theory or have you persevered and learned to control DCs more effectively? I want to enjoy my LDs but I don't want to disrespect anyone.
