I’m kind of forlorn here. Sure, I kind of think that DCs are just products of our subconscious, but that doesn’t make me feel any better.
I’m not going to be able to see my favorite DCs again for 18 years, or at least that is what they told me.
Background: My favorite DCs are two fey-like people, man and woman, who I am assuming are man and wife. I recall at least four dreams that I have seen them in. Each time I have dreamt of them, I remember more dreams about them, and the dreams these two DCs are in are always my longest and most vivid dreams. Each one was always about a year apart, but they have grown longer apart since apparent hostility against the DCs in the dreamworld.
The first dream I had with them in it was where I was climbing a massive wooden tower filled with people that tried to impede my progress. I do not remember many details, but I think my first encounter with the DCs was here. I met them at the top of the tower, but I do not remember what happened next. I think they may have given me advice or promised a future meeting.
The second dream I had with them featured them on a vast ship, propelled forward by oars rowed by incorporeal and invisible servants. I met them upon a lush and beautiful island. They had me get them an object from the opposite end of the island. I did so and we talked. I do not remember exactly what occurred here either. Again, I believe it was advice and promise of a future meeting.
Third dream: I was once again climbing the wooden tower, only this time it was under attack by an outside force that I did not get the chance to see. The interior was falling apart and signs of rampant destruction were everywhere. After finally reaching the top, I once again met them. This time, I specifically remember that they gave me an object to guard over, and it kills me that I do not remember what it was. They told me they wouldn’t be able to visit for a couple of years before I woke up.
So now this brings me to the fourth dream. As they said, they visited a couple of years later. It was the ship again. They asked me to bring them something from the opposite end of the island, which I set out to do. However, a bunch of people accosted me and prevented me from fulfilling my task. Upon returning to the ship, they told me that they wouldn’t be able to return for another 18 years.
I need to have an LD and investigate what’s going on. Too bad that WILD isn’t working and my dream recall has been mediocre at best lately . It’s hard getting back into lucid dreaming after having to stop for two years because your brother was reading your dream journal…
