Thread: Can you meet yourself in a dream?

I read this little book thing that said you cant or its rare or somethin...

I'm not just talking about just "seeing yourself" but actualy seeing yourself while you are yourself.

Last night I am almost positive that I was wrestling myself but it was very brief.



Anyone else have dreams where they encountered another replica of themselves?

Once in an ld i was in my back garden, went next door looked through their window and i was ironing a top and we both just looked at each other for a while and then i just carried on with the lucid dream.

It was kinda creepy.

I think Robert Bruce or Robert Monroe talk about this during OBE experiences they had...how they would leave their body and see themselves in the chair they were sitting in but at the same time being able to see their "astral body" from the chair...dual vision.

This was a Lucid Task not that long ago and quite alot of people done it , check it out ( im sorry i dont know which month it was lol )

Definately. It's happend to me.
And strangely it was a nightmare..... i saw myself in a padded cell with a straightjacket on, going completely mad. it was freaky as SHIT.

Was this in a LD if it was why did you not go over and talk to him lol , i would love to talk to myself

I have done this and recalled it, one time.

It is fun shit. I even considered fucking myself. Just to be able to say "I have already done it!" if someone ever tells me to "fuck myself". :p

Hi guys,

I just stumbled across this thread while trawling Google for answers on lastnights dream, so I've joined up to post my experience...

I don't know anything about lucid dreaming but is that where you're concious in your dream and can control what happens? If so, it definitely wasn't like that.

However, in lastnights dream I was looking in a shop and I turned around to see myself standing next to me. This other self was wearing some clothes that I used to wear quite a few years ago and he looked really drug-addled (eg. pale, pasty, bags under the eyes).

I don't remember talking to him but we definitely communicated with each other enough for me to know that he wanted to tell me something. We walked down the road from this shop and were sitting on a fence at the front of somebody's house (this is all happening in the street where I currently live) to have a chat.... This is when I woke up. I tried and tried but couldn't get back to sleep (probably because I was trying so hard).

Anyways, it's been bugging me all day. I've been searching dream dictionary's and stuff but can't find any reference to it whatsoever... Any insight that anyone can offer me would be awesome!

THANKS!

Neil

Thats interesting. I want to induce a dream where I meet myself. So far everyones experiences in this seem to be disturbing.

Yes a lucid dream is one where you are consciously aware that your dreaming so you can manipulate your dream, or expolore, or use it for self-integration. And I think talking with yourself in a dream can be emotionally healing is my guess. So I'm guessing for your dream, there is something your subconscious is wanting to tell you. And I read that to dream of sitting on a fence means that a major decision is to be made. Maybe you are trying to find yourself, or maybe you are actualy hiding from yourself in real life.

I opened the door for myself... When I asked her if she was a dream guide, she said no. She said she was a manifestation of my past friends! I felt a connection, and she acted lucid, but I doubt she was actually me.

@Fighters: Fighting yourself? Sounds like you and your subconscious are struggling to keep the peace! Have you felt guilty lately?

Don't listen to anyone that says its impossible or difficult to do something in a dream. All it really means is that they can't do it. A lot of people who write about this subject like to assume their own experiences apply to everyone.

I have seen myself as a child in my dreams.

Actualy what I read was that it was impossible or at least very rare to be someone else and also see yourself.

that would be dope.

I had a dream where I was in school and started failing and stopped taking care of my priorities. The next day (still in the dream), I realized I messed up and then saw myself in the dream. I was wearing an old sweatshirt I used to wear all the time, and then he asked me why did I do that. I agreed I messed up and was trying to fix it, and then it went into a different dream.

yes. i had a weird dream.. i looked behind me and it was my doppleganger i threw a knife at it and it stabbed him then i awoke.

I met myself as a child in an LD once. I picked me up and swung me around a little bit and then we had a short conversation. My child self jumped up and ran away
