I had a lucid dream this morning where unconscious, but lucid-like control of a situation led to me becoming lucid. A group of men had been attacking me, but I stopped them. In the aftermath, I realized that one of the men looked exactly like me, but with bigger, blond hair.
It was disturbing to encounter a copy of myself that wasn’t in a mirror. I considered fighting him, but spontaneously decided to absorb him instead. I walked into his body from behind and absorbed him so that he longer existed in the dream scene.
It felt great!
After I absorbed this copy of myself I felt a rush of energy and leapt up on a table and did a little dance. I was reminded of a younger me, a less jaded, less worn-down me. I even became more lucid than before.
I went on to absorb other DCs, but the other absorptions didn’t give me any rush. Toward the end of the dream, a mob of DCs were following me. (I was reminded of INCEPTION.) In an effort to get them to leave me alone, I absorbed a few of them. I even jumped into the body of a DC that seemed to be a leader among the others. Instead of absorbing her, I simply “possessed” her, I guess, borrowing her appearance as a different avatar in my skin. Wearing her skin, I ordered the DCs to stop following me. They listened! They went away…but eventually came back.
Tired of this mob, I finally faced them and asked, “What do you want?” A young woman near the front said, “We want to hear the story.” I was about to ask her, “What story?” as I woke up. However, I got a strong sense of knowing that she meant they wanted to hear the story of how I became lucid in that particular dream.
Then you get into tricky stuff, I think. I dunno what would happen, but it might be a new thing to try.
