Has anyone else experienced this? [out of place 'DC']

the Stuff Dreams are made of...

moved from lucid adventures since it isn’t about lucid dreams

This didn’t exactly happened during a lucid dream. Just a normal dream, but it was still really weird.

I was dreaming that I was standing on a bridge. I had dropped my planner into the river below and I was leaning over the sides to see if I could see it, but it was no where to be seen. I really needed that planner! I decided to go down to the river banks to see if I could spot it better from there. I turned around and came face to face with a dog.
Here’s the weird part.
The dog seemed like he had stumbled into my dream. I don’t really know how to explain it, but he didn’t feel like part of my dream. He stared at me, almost scared/surprised that I had seen him. He had clear, blue eyes, and his expression was almost human.
I sank to my knees (i’m not sure why) and asked him for help.
“Please help me, I’ve lost my planner!” I told him.
He then seemed like he didn’t know what to do. If to help me or not.
“Please!”
He then looked to the left, which made me look as well, and there was my planner. I looked back at him, but he was gone.

I really don’t think he was a DC or an animal spirit guide. It just felt like he stumbled into my dream. Has this happened to anyone else?

Well… this hasn’t really happened to me as you have experienced it… but couldn’t you have just dreamt that the dog stumbled into your dream?

Well, of course that’s a possibility. But it didn’t feel like part of the dream at all, like it came from somewhere else. Almost like an intruder.

I know I’m being rubbish at describing, but I really don’t know how to… it was just weird.

Could it be that it might’ve been dream sharing? But, with an animal… it’s possible, I suppose. Maybe the dog was part of your dream, and your feelings were somehow connected with your “storyline”, if you will. I’m not sure, but I’ve never experienced something like that.

this could be dream sharing, but you said his expression was almost…“human”
ive done this once before, ive changed into an animal.
now shared dreamings the hard part, but all dreams and lucid dreams have “portals” that lead to different places, each to a specific place, but its different for everyone.
now it is possible, that a person who transformed into a dog literatly “stumbled” into your dream, helped you, then just left.

now i havent tried to share a dream with someone, although, its not very likely that a dog stumbled into your dream, but it is a possibility.

Perhaps a dream guide transformed into a dog?

Or maybe a dream god transformed into a dog.

:wink:

Or maybe you stumbled into his dream, which was why he could give you your planner back so quickly :wink:

Yeah, I’ve been thinking about share dreaming.

Hopefully I’ll be able to LD soon and seek him out.
