A DC of mine, a shadowy, suspicious guy wearing a hooded sweatshirt, entered my dream last night and overpowered both my DG and myself, causing me to wake up and blocking me from any further contact with the dream world all night. Even WBTB yielded nothing. How could this happen?
More details in the journal.
maybe it was anxiety personified? I dunno why I thought if that, but that’s all I’ve got.
I just can’t figure why I would create something only to have it screw me up like that.
The DC reminds me a lot of the Jungian shadow, I agree with Li10 in saying the DC is a personification of anxiety, stress, or something. The DC definitely earns its name (Nemesis).
If you enter a conscious state you might want to ask what Nemesis wants or something. Things like this always seem to pass in time.
Maybe you didn’t creat it, maybe somebody else placed it there… for a reason. 
But really, i dont know why you were not able to “get back into” the dream. There must be a reason. 
Yeah it might just be someone representing your stress in your life, or just there coincidently?
