As title, really.
I’m wondering if it’s possible to learn new things about ourselves by observing and exploring our dreams.
Have any of you experimented with this? If so, what were your findings?
I do this myself. I believe dreams are to help improve WL, and WL improves dreams. Sometimes from certain dreams I’ll consider that my SC might be sending a message, or sometimes I’ll find him and ask him a question directly. He doesn’t always give a straight answer, but the things he does do have meaning, and it’s up to me to interpret them. He even woke me up the last time I met him to make a point. 
He was telling me that I already knew the answer and that my WL needs improvement to improve my dreams as well. Haven’t met him to ask something again yet, but I’m sure I’ll be wanting or needing to know something pretty soon.
So yes, I believe dreams are meant to help improve our waking life and that waking life can help improve our dreams. I’d say there’s not a limit on what you can learn from your dreams.
ZRVera, you sound like “your SC” is another person. You’re not treating it as a part of yourself, but as someone else. Creepy… 
But if you know DC s are parts of your SC or emulated by the SC, you can just view the person as the “incarnation” of the SC, not just like “Huh, a DC, he’s affected by my SC” but like “Hey, this guy represents my WHOLE SC, not just a little part”
Eh, I haven’t really thought of it much before. I do realize it’s a part of me, but in dreams, we’re separate if I summon him, if you see what I mean. Thus, I just find it easier to refer to him as separate. Guess I never really thought of that fact.
For me my dreams, non lucid and lucid, help me a lot. I go to therapy in RL because of issues with my past and my dreams are a playroom for me to experiment. It’s where I feel safe because I know it’s within me, my sc and it wants to help me. So sometimes when I am having a ND or LD, I get to face a situation in which I need to react on what is happening, or just feel what it does to me. At first when things like this happened in my dreams, I responded like I used to do in WL. I felt scared or I cried and I would wake up and my day would start off as not so great. But right now, I learned how to respond by practising with it in WL and in my dreams. 
I believe it’s very possible to learn about yourself in LD’s. My first girlfriend was hurting me badly and I was too blind to notice it, but in my dreams I kept seeing her as an evil figure, and I could see what she was doing to me. Thus I realized that she was not the right person for me. Also on the subject of SC: okay, maybe I’m weird, but I interpret my SC to be a separate entity that resides inside of me.
It’s very possible. Often times it’s things I already know on some level. I’m still able to get nightmares despite always being lucid because the nightmares are often troubling truths about myself. Also makes for great therapy material. 
Dreams are very symbolic. Before when I wasn’t in control, I used to use the plot and look at my own actions and try to understand why I did what I did, and why I dreamed of whatever situation. In lucid dreams, I look at the plot in lucid nightmares and the way DC’s interact with me.
Ex. DC’s are all normally very friendly towards me. If they are suddenly avoiding me or looking at me disappointed, I would consider that I am maybe ashamed of something.
Try asking yourself something in the next LD that has to do with an issue, or something simple such as “what am I most afraid of” or so and see your answer and if it actually relates to you waking life
I think that you can get a pretty good answer if you read Robert Waggoners book: Gateway to the Inner Self…
His approach is a little bit different and he is trying to explain how we can learn about ourselves through LD in his book…
Hope this helps…
