DCs deny that it's a dream?

Hey guys, in my dreams the dream charaters deny the fact that it's really all a dream, or just plain ignore it. They turn nervous and try to correct me when i go lucid and tell them the truth, for example, one night I dreamed that I was in a huge glass dome, with some people i knew, i realized i was dreaming and told the closest person around me, she got nervous and said "no... this isnt a dream... it's not"

Has this type of thing happened to yous? Do your DCs deny that it's a dream?

P.S.: The same charater pulled me down before i could fly later in the same dream.

I don't think I've ever had a dream character deny it, but I've never asked them before. I tried talking to a couple dream character before though and they got real scared for no reason. One of them even had a chainsaw and he was scared because I said "Hi". My guess is some dream characters are just nuts.

No, although I haven't talked to DC's a lot. They're usually quite passive (and my lucids haven't been long and stable enough to interact with them a lot).

I have never talked to a dream character in a lucid dream before, so personally I've never experienced this.
However, I have heard a lot of people say that in a lucid dream, dream characters often deny that it's a dream, or tried to convince them they are actually awake.

I think this happens because during a lucid dream, something will happen if you expect it to. When you are awake and tell someone they are just a creation of your mind, you can expect them to deny it as well. You usually don't hear people say you are dreaming while you are awake, so this is also not likely to happen in a dream.

heh, that happens to me a lot, so I either don't tell them, or get prepared to show them proof of it being a dream.

My dream characters have always been very supportive of me when I realise I am dreaming. I was once on a bus full of my friends and RC'd and they all said 'Finally!' as though they'd been waiting for me to become lucid. I've had a celebration where I was told I was dreaming and that it was 'That Stupidly Long Lucid You've Been Waiting For!' (which was very short lived :P) and I've had a DC walk up to me and just plain tell me 'You know you're dreaming, right?' causing me to RC, and then he even reminded me to do the task of the month!

Don't be afraid of your DC's, they're always going to be around your dreams and even if they're scared they will help you! :)

I hear about this all the time. You would be surprised it is quite common. It has actually happened to me a few times.

*realizes I am in a dream*

Me: Im dreaming! :)
DC: No..
Me: Really? There is a flying giraffe right in front us us.
DC: Nononononono just a projector..

DCs arent't always the most reliable sources. A friend of mine once told a dream in which he bought something in a shop. He got a three euro bill for change and he says to a DC wait a second, there are no three euro bills. His DC is like, sure there are.
Missed opportunity for lucidity :)

My dream characters sometimes deny it's a dream, sometimes are very supporting.

Your dreams are so amusing. Please share more of them if you have the time to write them up :)

DCs are mostly irritating when I have lucids but sure they vary. In one lucid I announced that I was lucid and started increasing vividness and one of the DCs I was with was just mocking me the whole time at which point I commanded a less annoying DC to behead him.
I think it's related to my view of people in waking life. Generally I'm quite antisocial and can't stand to be bothered which causes me social anxiety. This likely creates a negative expectation which is met by negative events in dreams. Also, people I find more irritating in waking life are more likely to attempt to hinder me in a dream.

It seems as though when I am lucid, the DC's often deny that it is a dream. But sometimes when I am not lucid, my DC's tell me that it is a dream and I am the one who denies it. So I can understand their denial.

Eh who cares what they think. This is very common, usually I just punch them or walk away ^_^

actully a DC was the reason why i didn't get lucid in a dream,i was talking with him when i wanted to do an RC,and he gives a good slap !!!!i entered in a discusion with him and forgot about the RC :mad:

The DC version of my mother got aggressive and dangerous whenever I'd say I was in a dream, or tried to do "lucid dreamer activities". Eventually she attempted to sedate and hurt me. I posted it in the dream gallery in 2009, the only way of escape was to drop a nuke bomb that destroyed so much the dream collapsed lol.

My mom is always a crazy ass bitch in my dreams too! Whenever I tell her im dreaming she tries to hurt me and I get the sense she is jealous of me being in a dream. She follows me like a child other times and I have to push her or kick her to make her go away but she always comes back.... lol I feel bad but damn it's f*ing annoying

I really need to tell someone I'm dreaming in my next lucid. The results sound very entertaining. :lol:

BWAAAAHAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!! :cackle:

Look at this in reverse for a minute - if you were somebody's subconscious and they were going lucid and trying to steal your thunder, who would you present as an authority figure to try to guilt them out of it? Who better than their mom, right?

I tried shooting, beating, and running from the DCs who were trying to stop me. They had unusual force and I couldn't get away. After blowing them up and collapsing my dream, I never saw them again until exactly one year later at the same time of night, on the same date. I found this out weeks after dreaming it after referring to my DJ.

Now, I don't believe in entities, but sometimes you've gotta wonder if more than just your mind is at work. Hahahah. :lol:

Though I've never had a DC deny a dream, I did recently have a DC tell me that dreams are 100% real. He made some good points:

Quote:

"This is a dream, but who's to say dream aren't reality? This is all real. Right now, your brain is still sending signals to your body and itself. Your heart is beating in here, as well as in your physical body, lying in your bed. What you're seeing, hearing, feeling. What you're smelling and even tasting, is all going into your memory. Saying this dream isn't real is like saying memories aren't real. You remember going snowboarding last night, right?" (I did go snowboarding last night) "That was real, wasn't it? But all it is now is just a memory, and soon, this will just be a memory. Saying this dream isn't real is like saying everything that has ever happened isn't real, and who are you to say what is and isn't reality?"

(Excerpt from DJ)

This guy really made me think about stuff. He might've been my DG but idk. I'll have to look for him later on in my dreams. Maybe if I have a lucid tonight :)

I wish my DC's were like that. Or maybe i just need to find my DG O.O

Yea, first time I've ever encountered one like that. The quote in my sig's from him too, and it's aimed at me :P

It sounds like there are some concerned mums of some of the members!

Not here, my mother doesn't really understand lucid dreaming entirely, but she wants to be able to get lucid more often. :P

For lots of people DCs deny that you are dreaming. In my experience my DCs always agree with me.

In my lucid dream this morning i tried convincing several characters that we were in a dream and they all denied it except for this skater kid who told me that he knew where he was and that he's been there for 30 years.

For the most part, my DCs won't tell me I'm dreaming, but they're usually pretty supportive when I find out.
Either that or indifferent.
Then, there are those DCs...
The last time that happened, the DC didn't deny it, she brutally attacked me! O_O
It pissed me off more than anything else.

I started a similar thread just yesterday. Here's an extract from the OP:

I was in my house, with all my family members. The dream revolved around me being suspicious about it being a dream, and my parents and my brother trying to stop me. They would insist that I wasn't dreaming, but I kept convincing myself I was.
They even resorted to trying to get me into a nightmare: my mom said "You DO know what happens when you realize you're lucid dreaming, right?", and while she said it everything went black and white, started distorting and melting and being sucked into a vortex for an instant. This battle went on for ages, with me asking questions continually, when finally I had the intuition of looking at my hands. One of them had 6 fingers, so I definitely knew I was dreaming then. At that point, they seemed to have accepted it.

So, yeah. This was my first proper lucid dream. I'll try again tonight; I'll keep repeating to myself the fundamental truth, that they don't exist, and their behaviour is simply a projection of my mind, and therefore I can change how they act. I'll report tomorrow and if I have no luck lucid dreaming, I'll report the results when I do.
But man, I didn't think my DCs would go as far as turning the dream into a nightmare. And sadly my mom is, too, a crazy bitch. In a previous part of the dream she gave me a handgun and forced me to shoot a plate of spaghetti; once these exploded in a red saucy mess, she told me, "That's what's going to happen to your BRAIN if you don't SHUT UP". I wasted all the shots so she couldn't shoot me anymore, and she simply went in the basement. My brother yelled after her, "Are you going to get the magnum?".

Lol, my DCs use to try to keep me oblivious to the fact that I was dreaming. Like, when I would find out that I was dreaming, they would all suddenly look at me and be like "he knows!" They would then all beat the shit out of me until I woke up.

Well it seems a lot of people here have the same 'problem' as you, and to get rid of it you will have to know just 1 thing.
The inner workings of the DC, a DC is just an empty shell(puppet if you will) living from your expectations of it, DC's can be controlled easily, I find them to be much more easily controllable then Dream Environments or Dream Objects because they aren't static object to begin with, so you don't have to break any physics for them to do as you want. You just have to know(expect) them to do what you want them to do and they will.

You probably expect them to deny it, and even get mad at you because that is what a real person most likely would do if you accused them of being not real.

Who am I? You can call me the Master of Puppets. *grins as he disappears into the shadows*
