As always, if this fits better some where else, feel free to move it.

So for the past week or so I've been moving to a point in my LD life where it's more important for me to seek out and integrate or absorb negative DCs. After having an experience with a DC who turned into a succubus at the end and summoned the devil, I woke up in a panic. After thinking about it, I realized that I blew an excellent opportunity to confront and talk to this figure. I can only assume that it represents an aspect of my psyche that I've rejected or somehow fragmented. I've been trying ever since to return to the scene.

Last night I found myself lucid in a crowd of DCs. I ran around asking everybody "Who are you? What do you represent? What do you have to tell me?" I got some pretty funny answers (one guy said he represented "orange") but I got two answers that were more coherent. One man told me that I need to stop being so critical of myself. I hugged him and told him thank you. Then the ground started shaking and the sky turned dark. Instinctively I ran around a corner and ducked. Looking back on it, I probably would've found the nightmare had I just turned around, but I guess I'm a wuss, lol. Crouching, I looked to my left and saw a tall, regal looking woman. She said that she was "consciousness" and that her name was Gerther/Garther. I asked if I could stay with her for a while and she said yes. She brought me into a library with a bunch of little kids. It was clear that she was their teacher. I sat down on the little kiddie chair at the little kiddie table (kindergarten cop, lol) and she began her lesson. She was just having the children repeat stuff that I can't remember. I grew impatient and interrupted. "I don't mean to interrupt but can I ask you some questions?" "You may not mean to but you did. And yes, you may." I felt so humbled and embarrassed. I asked her why she wasn't around more in my dreams. Why wasn't I having more LDs like used to? She said something about how I'm just getting in the way and need to relax. Then I woke up.

Thinking the whole thing over, I felt disappointed that I forgot to be brave in the face of the earthquake, but relieved that I got some pertinent advice from my unconscious.

What kind of integrative experiences have you guys had?
