For the past five or so years I have had dreams with a specific DC. He hasn't been in every single dream I've had, but ever since sometime in middle school he has made appearances. He still has not told me his name, so I ended up giving him one. He very rarely speaks and I don't often get a good look at his face, but I always have a sense that he's a friend- certainly not from any nightmare. I think one time a while ago he said he was there to protect me or something, but I wasn't as interested in dreams then so my memory of it is fuzzy. He's just always been around and when I dream of him, they are good dreams.

The weirdest part of it though, is that he only shows up when I am not LDing. This is frustrating to me because I want to talk to him. It would be interesting to hear what this DC would say. When I have a LD, I might call for him or try to make him appear, but it never works even though I'm usually okay at that sort of dream skill.

Is my subconsious trying to create something to personify itself? Or does he represent something else? I've always been a bit of a hopeless romantic at heart, so maybe he is filling a void..? Any opinions or advice on this will be greatly appreciated. This is something I've wondered about for a long time, although I certainly don't mind hanging out with my dream buddy! Haha.
