a strange thought about dream characters

[pierules246]

what if DC's are real other people in lucid dreams, like the dreamscape is one big social network, and random people meet up with random people and dont even know it... sorry if i sound crazy but its just a thought

I dont think other people would do everything i wish when i become lucid

It would be strange and i doubt its real.

Well, Flame, what if those people that are under your command are real people, but they aren't LDing, so who they would be if they were LDing is under your command.

It could be, but somehow, I feel that not all of the dream characters could be real. It could be, that some of them are real, and some of them are only created by your own imagination.

Here's a video btw:
Dreamscape: Shared Dream Experiences?

i don't think DC are real people dreaming, because if they were LDíng they could also control the world around them upto a certain degree.
just like you would

[skator22]

In a sense, even when we are awake we are controlling things and creating this world. It could just be that the conscious state is more stable because it is a more collective consciousness, and when we are asleep it is condensed. So we could share the creation of our dreams with other people, which would explain how we can't always completely control our dreams and some of the abstractions... if that makes sense to anyone else

i've also wished for the same thing. But really it's all in your head. All the people you dream about are only reflections of you. I know it sounds hard to understand and I'm still trying to get my head around it. Would be really cool if we all connected to each other through our dreams.

Watch the movie "inception" I think that's what you talking about.

Your'e suggesting that mutual or shared dreaming is a reality. I wish it were so, but then wouldn't people report more instances of both seeing each other in the same dream? I see my friends in my dreams and they don't recall the same dreams. Also, many dream characters shift and change into others.
A more realistic thought is that the dreamworld is it's own alternate reality where a population of dream people live, accustomed to the bizarre experiences that accompany us (the dreamers) and our strange journeys and imaginings in their world. Maybe they can shapeshift, and some of them mimic the people in our world...

Well I need to go ascertain that fact with my friend and family since I dream of them pretty often. But it doesn't seem that those DCs are anything more than a DC when I dream of them. I never had a same dream with another person during the same night.

However, some people had been attempting shared dreaming. You can look into that if you're keen.

[joethfc]

I sincerely doubt it. I DCs seem to behave a certain way and I actually think we should realise how awesome our brain is to create these complex characters.

My opinion depends on if the DC "feels" alive/conscious. If so, they seem to mimic the main characters in a book. If not, they are just like the bricks that make up the walls in the background. I really think that by reading a fiction book will help you make up your mind.
