When was the first time you found out that what DC says isn't true?
As for me it was when I was 6 years old. In an LD I asked my family member when will we have the phone - that time it was hard to get any home phone - and he looked at me and said "never". Following year we finally bought a phone. Until that dream I thought that DCs in dreams are right and what they say is true. Fortunately I've found out quite early that it is otherwise.
One time when I was younger I asked my dad if we were going to get a dog and he told me that we did, but we forgot to feed it and it ran away...:shock:
is this a dream or real life?Quote:

I know what you mean haha
In my recent LD, I told my DC friend I'd visit a scene wearing a santa suit, but he kept saying it wouldn't be possible
I proved him wrong:D
Was he a friend in just that one dream, or a friend that accompanies you as a DC character often?Quote:

I thought that the main part of lucid dreaming was to speak to DC about yourself if they speak crap then who can u speak to in your LD. By the way if I hunted for my subconscious and questioned it would it speak the truth or a load of rubbish?
I do in LDs what I can't do in reality thus talking to DCs doesn't seem as something attractive to me. Occasionally I speak with someone but only when I need DC to do something I want. I don't know if speaking with my subconscious would be interesting in any way. :) If it would speak the truth or rubbish I guess it'd depend on a person.Quote:

Well there's probably a lot in your subconscious that you are not aware of, and I'm not sure you want to go there, but if you do, I bet you could create a special DC for that. I'm sure it's possible.Quote:

Like last night when I was trying to get to the Lucid Crossroads, I ended up at some place where a woman was jabbering on the phone and ignoring me. Then I went through a tunnel to a place where someone ran up to me and asked me if I wanted tea.
What is "the Lucid Crossroads"?Quote:

...WRONG
I find that DCs speak in riddles. There is a hint of truth to what they say, but it's under the surface and between the lines. Like all meanings in dreams I guess.
thats wat I believe. Also that if they give you a object it means something.
The subconscious along with any other consciousnesses that may be floating around in your brain did not need to evolve after they stopped serving primary brain functions. Your subconscious is the smartest of these but unfortionately it can still spout shite, as it has not been "sharpened" by evolution for millions of years. It think if we were subconscious our whole lives though it would learn the logic we already know consciously, so maybe with practice you can teach your DCs the ways of your world and they'll probably learn over time.
Sorry if I'm being confusing, I don't really know what the subconsciousness is. I thought it was just a lowered state of awareness but then what speaks through your DCs and performs automatic tasks? Maybe there's more than one of you in there!
What dream characters say can range from the random blabber to random facts to cryptic messages to actual conversation.
If you take them seriously, and believe that, because they are of your mind, they have the potential to match you in wit, then they can be great companions with which to talk or travel.
