Meeting the subconscious

[rosegoldroman]

This... isn't an experience so much as an idea, but... I thought it was pretty cool and worth sharing! So! I've been lucid dreaming for a while now, and aside from the regular dream goals (flying, teleporting, transforming, etc) I had trouble thinking of interesting, unique things to do in a dream. Then I started watching this series on Youtube (which I highly recommend, by the way) called the Sanders Sides series. It sort of revitalized by determination to have a lucid dream, because it gave me an idea. In the series, the main character Thomas talks to the different aspects of his personality, his "sides." As a fun activity one day, when I had nothing better to do, I designed my own sides — and then I realized: I could meet them, in a lucid dream! I figured that would be a pretty cool experience, even if you don't want the series. Meeting the pieces of your own personality — your imagination, your happiness, your anger, etc — could be an amazing thing to do. So I figured I'd share; maybe this'll inspire someone else? ((plus, there's never a bad time to promote the Sides series. Seriously, go watch it, it's amazing) Anyway! That's it. Just thought I'd share. Sweet Dreams! Logan

I have met my subconscious in my dreams, but it was just one character. It looked a bit like me, but just more androgynous and skinnier. I actually met it by accident, didn't really realise who that was until later. I was trying to spawn a "dream guide" to help me with my dreams, and I wanted it to be this really hot girl that I met earlier (who I was also hoping to sleep with at some point) but when I tried to spawn her, this character who looked a bit like me appeared. I thought "oh well, close enough" but it wouldn't let me touch it at all, and then threw me against the wall and I woke up. At first I was really annoyed at this "inaccurate clone" but then in a later dream I spoke to it and it turned out to be a representation of my subconscious. We kinda became friends and after that I have found dream control much easier, as if I was working with my mind and not against it. It was a cool experience, definitely my favourite dream character that I have met.

I've talked to my subconscious in a lucid dream, but only as an invisible being not manifested as a character. I always get cryptic advice to mull over for next few years... My dream guide ( a separate character) physically manifests himself. He helps in more practical ways and he is more informal. Enjoy the depths of the subconscious!
