I have been wondering lately if it would be possible to have a dream companion. I have been thinking about making a post-apocalyptic dreamscape and wanted to know if I could have a dream companion whether it be a person or an animal. I just thought this would be a fun experiment. If anyone has created a dream companion please explain what you did to make them have their own personality not just a lackey of sorts that just does what you tell them to.
I would almost consider myself a “expert” at exactly what you are talking about.
My dream character “Nicklebrick” goes with me EVERYWHERE and its super awesome. as for making him, i actually used CALD (not to induce LDs, but for the very purpose of making a DC that would be with me everywhere) Nicklebrick has a special ability of some grand mage and it is a ton of fun to be around.
It is very possible, indeed.
As for making a personality, i just used CALD and the rest kind of flowed through after a while, then materialized in my dreams.
I don’t even talk to Nickle through CALD during the day, i only see him in my dreams now, im glad somebody decided to post something like this.
Good luck making a DC to be a companion!
feel free to ask anything else you have any questions about.
So if I was to some how actually make a dog: could this dog show up in all of my LDs by me just whistling for him and could he say warn me of danger in a post-apocalyptic dreamscape by growling? I just love playing post-apocalyptic games and I always wish that there was a dog that could help me.(I’m not sure why.) I just figured it would be cool to live the world rather than playing a game.
I don’t know how to guarantee that he will be on in every dream. but a dog would work very well i would believe.
Thank you for the help. I guess I will have to try and see. I hope I don’t get some mutated animal. My creating has not gone so well lately.
Haha, are you going to name him Dogmeat?
Oh, fallout is wonderful 
Try to create him in WL so much that the dog almost has to be just as you imagined it. just an opinon
No but yes Fallout was my inspiration. I didn’t thing Dogmeat was very useful though. Also I figured any dreamscape I explored, why would someone question someone just walking around with a dog. If he/she growls(Haven’t decided on sex of the dog) I’ll know someone is about to try and harm me.
Nickle: What do you mean by saying create him in WL?
I thought that Fallout was kinda what it was based off of 
anyways i mean create the dog in waking life (when your still awake) so that way he will be just as you imagined him/her when you go into a LD
Well my inspiration has been discovered. I just hope I get this down. I have always loved post-apocalyptic movies, games, and books. I have had plenty of post-apocalyptic NDs but I haven’t tried to enter a dreamscape like that. Keep the answers coming though, any help would be great.
Also Nickle you are saying that if I choose what species of dog, name, and the look of the dog I should be able to make him in a dream?
Exactly, create him/her in your mind, then continue to the point where it is almost real, then have a dream and call for him/her and that should work well (at least it does for me)
Well let us hope this goes good. I haven’t been able to have any LDs lately because of the stress of finals but those are all done as of today. YAY! 
How long does this take? Is it something I could do in a couple of days or weeks or what?
Also do you think creating a puppy in a safe environment to grow and to train would be ok to do?
could easily have an idea within 10 min, it didn’t take more than half an hour for me to make Nickle, (although the finer parts of a personality will develop naturally over time) just imagine talking (or something like that) to the animal to make it seem more real.
when you notice that who you are talking to starts to respond without feeling “puppitish” (when you don’t feel like you are forcing responses) that is usually when it is almost done
although in a dream this will be much easier to talk to (or something similar)
Hope this helps
Nickle you have been more than helpful. I have decided on what type I want:
Breed will be black and white Siberian Husky
Sex will be female (My experience with dogs it always seems my female dogs are less aggressive but not to friendly and they seem more faithful.)
Name will be Aurora
I am going to try and make her eyes the beautiful blue of this picture
(The link was not working but if you want a picture search google for aurora and it is the one in the second row next to the red/blue one)
I will also be training her from a puppy.
I will also post my results with this. I really am getting excited about this. I am happy to have gotten some answers. I couldn’t find anything through the search about creating DC animals or DCs at all.
Glad i could help i still have a ton of information, if you join the chat i can talk about it some more if you want.
And the dog seems really good, i like the idea of training her from a puppy
Thank you and I just figured what better way to gain trust between me and her than training, but yeah I’ll try the chat (never used it before)
Chat keeps giving me Java errors but oh well. I have only had 3 LDs (Well what I consider LDs) I have become lucid on I think 13 separate occasions but lost it after a few seconds and just let the dream go (I was training for a space launch in one. I was denied though. 
) My last one was an hour and a half. 
So I am getting better.
Edited double posts together. 
I’m actually trying the same thing, but on a grander scale.
I daydream a lot, and very deeply. Whenever I’m not doing anything, whenever I’m in class, during dinner, etc. I’ve been doing this ever since I was 14. Since then, I’ve created a very detailed world, with a working government, and cities. My place in it is as an adventurer, with 5-6 followers, each who’s personality has developed over the years. Each one has special powers, and a detailed background.
Through the years, I’ve met them through my “adventures”. I want to go to this world in one my LDs. I’m afraid that if I meet them all at once, they will act “puppet like”, and not like they really are.
What I’m planning to do is to meet them 2, or 1 at once. I’ll meet them through my lucid adventures. Another problem is keeping the world static, or starting where I left off. I’ll need to figure those out.
Well with the help from Nicklebrick I was able to create Aurora. She is just as I hoped. Black and white with nice and bright blue eyes. I chose to make her a month old to speed up the training. I left her in a gray carpeted room with white walls. The walls had various murals on them. I made her a food and water bowl big enough to last a few days. I did this during a WBTB attempt. I was imagining her and all of a sudden she came out of the darkness all happy and cheerful. I played with her for 20 mins before waking up. Next is to add a treadmill and make a never emptying food and water bowl.
Wow, congratulations 
Yep, it is exciting. The training will commence the next time I have a LD. I would like anyone to keep this going just because I could’t find a topic on this already on here. So if anyone has tips on creating people with actual personalities, please put some info on here. I can’t be the only person that has thought about these things.
