I use to LD, before I was even practing LDing, and when I became lucid, I wouldnt know what to do, and I knew I didnt have much time, so I would just slug my DC, and beat the hell out of them, and now Ive noticed when I am Lucid, I cant find any DCs. I wonder if there avoiding me. I really want to talk with them.
The only solution I can think of is making someone appear. Have you tried that yet? I find it easy to create people. It is your dream, you can control them, no matter how much they want to avoid you. So just try to make them appear.
I generally treat my DC’s okay anyway

I like your avatar. that’s a good album.
And haha kavaa, if i were your dream characters I think i would be hiding too! Why don’t you just try summoning them? call upon dream characters to appear.
Yes it is. 
My favorite has to be Lonesome Crowded West though.
my DC’s in non lucid dreams are pretty friendly to me, like the other nite some guy was slidding with his daughter, in reply to this i yelled out “HEY YO!!” and he replied “HEY HO!!” and he laughed for some reason.
My DCs are always there. I blow them up if I want. I know they’ll be there though, so they are. Not all of them are concious, so they cant all run 
Sometimes I can’t find any DCs, and when I do, they aren’t very wise, often saying illogical stuff. I think it’s just about believing they’ll be there and they will. And also think that if you believe that you can have a smart conversation with a DC, you will. Everything in LDs is about believing.

Usually in my LDs I try hard not to be violent with DCs,… 
sometimes I hurt them without intending to, and sometimes i get this irresistible urge to beat a DC up or stab him,… but I always feel bad afterwards! My DCs can sometimes be intelligent for a short instant but then they start saying the most stupid things and I think it upsets me. So I think somehow I got the same problem as kavaa. I want to talk with DCs but they won’t let me.
Hehe, maybe they want to play hide and seek or maybe they don’t like you anymore, you can always just try and shout out things like “Come back! I won’t hurt you, really” that might work.
