Thread: DCs that you feel sorrow for having to say goodbye to

I have also had experiences like this, which is one thing that led me to the DEILD technique without realizing that was what I was doing. If I was badly enough affected by them disappearing when I woke up I would reenter the dream.

I must disagree with you on this. We percieve dreams and all within them the exact same way we percieve anything IRL, so they are no less real or "there" to us than anyone we see while we are awake. "But they aren't a real (IRL) person!" That may (or may not, if you believe in SD) be true, but for the course of the dream (or dreams, if they are recurring DC) they are just as real as anything else in your life.

Truthfully, and this is just a bit of a projection, people get bent out of shape by things that are IRL that don't physically exist. Bills, for example, keep people awake and especially in this bad economy can destroy people's lives before any of the reprocussions of incurring the debt and not paying it back take place. Bills, debt, is just a concept and is no more real than a DC or Santa, but most of us accept that as a proper [imaginary] thing to let worry you into an early grave. Just a thought.

All the Best,

^awesome post rR

I've also felt a connection to DC's before and woken up quite sad when I've realised it was just a dream.

This is just like characters in book series. You grow attached to em, and are sad to see them go.

You grow attached to the plot and ideas of the book aswell. But it is nice to have closure when a series ends and move on to a new book or book series.
