Character Assisted Lucid Dreaming...CALD part VII

maroonjaguar: Great C: When you find the time, can you send me a more detailed description? I’ll try to draw him well for you C:

We had a pretty decent conversation. Also, he’s quite the character ( :lol: ), so it was quite easy to keep myself entertained in conversation with him. I of course had to stand away from the crowds so that he wouldn’t get trampled and go off on rather colorful rants. :lol:

Nice, Wolven :razz: Is he very much like the Kiba from Naruto?

He’s a lot like him, but a bit less brash and a bit more mouthy than I recall Kiba being.

I’m making slow progress with Zack, I keep meaning to develop him, but I am just a bit busy thoughtwise.

Yup. I felt as if my characters wanted to help me out, so I want to communicate with them more which might produce more LDs, and it will be fun going on adventures with them.

I’ll try to get in a deep hypnagogic state again so I can hear my characters talk. Happened to me again for a few nights ago, but the instant I remembered my characters (I was just daydreaming casually) I snapped out of the ‘trance’ and exited the hypnagogic state :sad:

Yo people!It’s been sooo long since I patron this thread T_T Sorry~ School is really killing me!

I’m not sure if I posted this but a few weeks ago I dreamt of Thunzar again. It was only a brief dream before I woke up for school T_T

We’re standing on a ship and he was holding on to the railing slightly leaning forward casually looking out at the blue sea. You shoud see how dazzling he look with his nice black spiky-ish hair flowing lightly and he was wearing the clothes I got for him (literally… I went “dream shopping” instead of talking to them ^ ^""). Once again, he noticed me, turned and gave me a super dazzling smile showing his pearly white teeth. He’s eyes were sorta reflecting the sunlight causing his emerald eyes to look super bright :happy: He was even wearing the necklace (nice bling bling ‘Thunzar’ ) I got for him ^^

Whats with Thunzar always smiling so dazzlingly… I stoned there for a few seconds and before I reacted, I was woken up by my alarm clock :cry:

Hurray! In exactly a months time (April 24) is going to be Thunzar’s birthday and then the next month, will be Desmond’s~ I remember them debating whose birthday comes first since I literally forgot their real day of creation T_T and Thunzar insisted he gets April 24 instead of May XD Desmond, as usual, is easy going so he agreed to have his a month later :content:

It’s always nice to hear of dreams you have with Thunzar; they’re very nice. You’re also lucky you remember you’re characters’ birthdays. I don’t remember any of them, except for one that was so odd I emailed my dad about it. Did you post the dream in the CALD DJ yet?

I would say at this point the Third Doctor is about 70-80% percent complete and independent, though he is still getting his bearings on the world. A little more tweaking and I should have him finished. Things between him in the Second are a bit rough, but if anything I find it a tad amusing. Luckily they tend to avoid each other unless I specifically want both of them, so I don’t have to do a lot of peace keeping.

On another topic, I was wondering if anyone else has ever run into an issue where they keep finding fakes of their characters during their dreams. The Second Doctor and I run into fakes of him and even the TARDIS all the time. A bit weird, no?

I’ve actually had two such experiences. The first, during an actual dream, was with me traveling with Crystal, and we get separated. I start looking for her and come across a town full of people that look either exactly like her or almost like her, with small differences between each of them. It was rather odd, and I wasn’t happy at all that this was keeping me from finding her again.

The second time was while I was meditating. I decided to meditate on a recurring DC. I arrive at an apartment room floating in a black space, and go in. […] We jump into a picture of a large tree and explore the tree […] All of a sudden all of these copies of us come and start flooding everywhere, trying to separate us and keep us lost from each other. They each were trying to get me to take them back to her pad (and by extension my mind space, I assume). Eventually I summoned a hawk that another character and I created to help me find the real her.

So, yes, I’ve had a few experiences with something like that happening. They aren’t always too fun, and in fact can be downright annoying given the right (or wrong) circumstances. Now, I did have another experience where I ended up meeting another character that I thought was a body-double of Crystal. She’s pretty cool, though, and still occasionally hangs around.

Yeah, I’ve noticed that a lot of these copies actually try to pass themselves off as The Doctor. I wonder what part of our mind generates these things, and furthermore why. I should ask one of the copies some time :tongue:

Copies of characters, huh? I think I might have had one of those experiences during my adventures once. Can’t quite remember it though.

I’m still having some trouble with the problem I had earlier - an object falls out of the sky and blocks my view. My character tried to catch it but he keeps dropping the object and it still lands on my head. If I don’t think about it (which happens) then it’s all fine, but if I do it is virtually impossible for me to stop thinking about it.

Ah, already on to part VII.

So I was talking to The Doctor and I began to wonder what he did whenever I wasn’t busy talking to him. He replied that he does what he has always done; exploring all of time and space. Basically, he said he explores within my own imagined/dreamed universe.

I found this interesting myself, and I was wondering what you all had to say about it. No, better yet, I wonder what your characters would have to say about it.

Woo a new part already! :smile:

I wonder what your Doctor has to say about the changing laws of physics within your own imagination. I can imagine that in a dreamscape with zero limits, a TARDIS would be either extremely powerful, or completely obsolete. What’s his thoughts on that?

I went ahead and asked The Doctor about the TARDIS, he maintains that it is just as powerful as in “real” life. He pointed out it is still the way he has to get around the dreamscape, even if I can do otherwise. Also, he mentioned that it has the capabilities of helping me channel some of my lucid abilities, such as teleportation, and I’ve noticed this as well.

I also admit that I have found it is a nice sanctuary in the middle of otherwise hectic dreams. I guess I would agree with him that it continues to be extremely powerful in my dreams.

My characters aren’t in a good mood with me at the moment. An evil tyrant approached me in one of my futuristic mind cities, and blackmailed me. He ended up destroying my little world of Eternos (and everyone living on it, but the tyrant exiled us), and forced me and my characters to settle on another inhabited planet. My characters believe it’s my fault, and hate me for it. I’ve tried talking to them but they won’t forgive me for it. I’ve tried telling them it wasn’t my fault, but they still won’t listen. Probably something I can sort tonight.

I’m in the middle of a dry spell at the moment. I also keep forgetting to try CALD, but I will tonight :happy:

Aww, that’s too bad. I’ve never really had any of my characters terribly mad at me, and I’ve always had at least two that would stick by me through everything. I don’t know what I would do if all of my characters were suddenly mad at me and wouldn’t speak to me. I hope you get everything worked out.

Ha copies…I keep running into copies of Fujimoto in my LDs ! But I noticed that when it’s the real one, it always goes in the same process: I am waiting for him, notice a flash of orange hair, and he often appears behind a crowd, walking out of it, and then I follow him ^^ But it has just happened twice I think. Most of the time I am looking for him, and when I run behind him, I always encounter fakes…ha this is so depressing ^^

A lot of time, what works best is summon him. Say his name. And be still. Ha if any of you have the courage to read my last DJ entry, and have some ideas to share, how can I stop wandering in my dreams, what idea I should hang on to, to stop encountering those fake Fujimotos ^^
I know the answer is stop looking for him, just stop, stay still, and he’ll be there. Then you can talk to him, if you stay calm.

Ha ! I found it by myself!! Coming here, and writing…is a therapy !! :woo:

This has been quite interesting conversation! I’ve never had problems with duplicates, myself. But I have seen my characters in strange forms ^^; .

I’m hoping everyone here has had good progress since the time they’ve posted! At the rate everyone was progressing before, I’m sure there are some interesting stories to share now C: .

I’m hoping everyone has been having lovely lucids!

Did anybody end up fixing problems they were encountering, or have anything fun to share? C:

~Tal

I fixed my problem - me and my characters became friends again. I’m planning on taking them to a new planet that I’ve never seen before and neither have they). When I do reach the planet, I will have trouble thinking what type of terrains and what locations I should visit. I plan to go on a huge journey across the planet. Any ideas for locations?

Managed to have 1 LD last week - it was short but a LD is a LD, I guess :smile:
