Anytime I have told a DC that it was a dream they got a weird look on their face. It was a look of confusion and almost hatred. It was like they were taking it as me saying "I don't care what you have to say because you are not real."

I've done that before and they all said that it wasn't a dream. That's all that happend though. There's not much that I remember becuase it was a long time ago.

I've had two dreams where I've yelled "I'm dreaming!" to myself and the DC around me (only 1 resulted in a LD though). Both times the DCs just looked at me blankly with no emotion, not even confusion. It reminds me of playing a video game and you walk away without pausing it and the character just stands there idle but not frozen.

I have, most of the time they aknowledged what I said. I then usually tell them I have to go, they tend to say goodbye, or just look at me.

Haha this is so interesting!

I don’t think I’ve told directly to DCs that I am dreaming, but I do remember laying eggs in front of them just to see their reaction. “What is wrong with you? Freak!”

What is wrong with me...

I did it once ...
"you are in a dream!"
"I know."
She suddenly started to sing...in a melody I haven't heard for years:
"Whether you believe it or not, I am for real!"

Ugh, that was creepy o.O

A bunch of times. Usually they act offended. Like I'm some stupid tourist who said something i shouldn't have, but didn't get it. Sort of as if they hear it a lot, and don't like to hear it. They ganged up on me once and I felt sort of threatened. Then there are the times when I meet my friend in a LD and I sort of don't get that he's just a dream character. I figure I shall teach him how to lucid dream, since were are dreaming together. But he never wants to accept that he is dreaming, and seems annoyed that I am saying that he is. That's not surprising though, because it fits his personality and attitude towards lucid dreaming. He would like to have them, but fights every step of the way when it comes to learning how.

So, it seems like the most common response is for the DCs to be offended, or defensive. I wonder why that is? I have only had two LDs, and when I tried to engage anyone, they mumbled incoherently and ignored me. I know some people think there is a supernatural element to dreams, and others think it's purely our own subconscious. I tend toward the latter. Maybe my subconscious is offended by me questioning it, haha! Or maybe the DC's reaction is a reflection of how we expect people to react to us.


Current LD goal(s): My first real LD was vivid, and I was very lucid. I want to do that again.

This is the most likely cause. Dreams are formed by our expectations and intentions. That's the only language our subconscious understands. If we expect DC's to respond in a happy way, they will. If we expect them to be ignorant, they will be ignorant.

No.. I have only had a few LDs, but I've heard that you can tell a DC to tell you that you're dreaming while you're dreaming, so you know it, but I haven't tried it. smile


Current LD goal(s): more vivid

I haven't tried this either, but from what I've read, folks get varied results. Sometimes the DCs tell the truth, and sometimes they lie.

i think in my very first LD i was in a metrostation and just picked somebody of the DCs out and told her that this was a dream and asked her to follow me and remind me of this. we went on a train and dunno how suddenly sat in a bus. there the dream faded away. This girl was nothing surprised, she was just like "Ok, theres a stranger telling me that this is his dream, let's follow him"


Current LD goal(s): have as many ld as possible
