I occasionally have this ridiculous fear in my lucid dreams about talking and moving. I’m guessing it’s when I have a low level of lucidity. Basically, when I’m in the dream, I’m scared to say and do things openly because I feel like my body in real life will also say and do the same things. This “fear”, if you want to call it that, only started about a year ago when I started living in a dorm with a roommate. It’s extremely irritating because in waking life, I see this as ridiculous, but when I’m in the dream, I’m completely convinced. I had a lucid dream like this today and it, as well as the whole premature ending problem that I seem to be having lately, just ruined everything, lol.
Anybody else have this issue and are you doing anything about it?
In the dreamworld, you don’t actually have to speak or do things openly. Thinking about them openly is more important, because you can communicate with other DC through your mind without speaking and also doing things without being you the one that actually does them.
You may also try to find/create a DC who can speak and do this kind of things for you so you won’t have reasons to be scared, because someone else does all that stuff.
That’s a pretty good idea! Have some kind of peon follow me around, heh. My only issue, though, is that this issue only occurs when I’m least lucid, which means I already do not have much control at all. Spawning or finding somebody like that could very well be too difficult. I’m going to try and go for it anyway. Maybe I can have this peon always be there with me or something.
If you have enough lucidness to remember the RL, then you may ask (whisper
to) another DC to create a DC. This usually works for me, at least someway.
