Hey everyone, I think we should have a bit of a look at this.
Think about the characters you get in your dreams. Are they people you know, or characters you’ve never seen in your entire life?
I tend to get either all people I know or all (possibly) ficticious characters. Do you guys get a mix of the two?
If they are people you know, are they like friends, coworkers, etc. or famous people?
I’ve never had famous people show up in my dreams, only friends, aquaintances and teachers.
Also, I’m wondering about something. I think the amount you trust the people around you will influence if you get real people appearing in your dreams or merely ficitious ones. I don’t trust much so I seem to get a lot of unknown dream characters. Thoughts?
Al ppl i have ever known seem to pop up into my dreams, but those who i know/knew best more frequent (family and friends mostly). Also bunches of totally unknown persons ofcourse.
if i think about it, I would mainly remember having friends around, but sometimes they tend to mix with ppl I dont know in RL.
But when i have people who i dont know in RL, I can still know these characters in my dream, like some of them are my friends, maybe their just my dream friends . I would actually want to have more reoccurring dream friends, there are some that i would truly wish to meet again, but they havent appeared, or I just dont remember them, which would be a shame…
I would be interested in knowing if people have many reoccurring dream ‘friends’? and do you ask them to come pop by anytime, or do they just show up?
Some of the most popular characters that occur in my dreams are people who I can best describe as “aquaintences” People who I know IRL, but I don’t know very well, such as my friends parents, friends of my parents, and people who were a big part of my life a while ago but I don’t see anymore, such as old teachers and babysitters.
Xenesis…mostly ppl i dont know because i always seem to travel in my dreams lol…but sometimes fam also…friends are rare in my dreams only now and then.
I have mostly RL characters popping into my dream. Most of them are pets (probably my most frequent dream visitors) / family / people I work with / poeple from my past jobs or school / famous people I have never met like Kurt Cobain, Burt Reynolds, Vanilla Ice…LoL
It is very rare actually for me to encounter an entirely fictitious DC. A lot of times if the character ‘appears’ to be a stranger, something about them, like thier mannerism, will make my subconscious relate them to a living person.
Alot of my dream characters are people I know,Like family friends,and so on.
But I have one person in all my dreams,and I mean all my dreams.She is alway giving me helpful advice and weapons.(if needed)
She has platnum hair and eyes and all I know about her is her name is Amber…which is my favorite color.
I would like to Know more about her.
I have a mix of all of those i think. I’ve dreamed of famous people a lot, people I know a lot and some I never heard of all in the same dream. I also dream about characters from stories or drawings of mine and that’s really cool getting to meet them like that. I think those are my favorite DCs. And I dream about my cat alot too.
It seems to be a mix for me; I run friends, family, acquaintences, and quite a few people I’ve never seen before. I’ve dreamed of seeing famous people on TV… But never met them.
Yeah it’s the exact same thing for me. They are people I used to be friend with years ago, and I still know them but I don’t talk to them much. Other than this it is just people I have gone to school with, usually people I know pretty good, but a mix of others too.
In my dreams i tend to get the people i know, but who aren’t my friends. As in, people i am acquainted (is that typed correctly?) with but not close friends. Also, these people tend to die an awful lot in my dreams - i have one person who has died about 4 times, each time quite grotesquely!
Usually, My dream characters are strangers. In a few dreams I see my wife, and coworkers. Last night, Jennifer Aniston was in my dream. That was a great one. Too bad I didn’t become lucid in that one.
an artist named Al Davison has a story in his book Spiral Dreams about his dream guide named Kolchec. a friend of his also seems to have met Kolchec independantly of him and he acted as her dream guide too. and… he had dreamed about her (as a person in ancient times) before he met her, along with Kolchec. and actually drew both of them together years before. I reccomend this book and his other works as well. he did a web site though not any more.
I have had a little bit of experience with a dream guide as BioHazard described. she has appeared to me outside the dream as well. which seems more of a Beyond Dreaming topic. haven’t met her in years though.
Oh man, just last night i had a dream where i was getting ready to sleep outside on a lawn in a 28 days left stylish dream…
then the dream character (I dont know/remember if i knew them from rl or not) said they werent feeling so good, so i said id help them inside… so when i got ready to pick them up the person transformed into a stick figure. and I was like " Haha, do you know your dreaming" and then i didnt still get lucid =p. and then i think the dream faded away…
. I would actually want to have more reoccurring dream friends, there are some that i would truly wish to meet again, but they havent appeared, or I just dont remember them, which would be a shame…
That was a great one. Too bad I didn’t become lucid in that one.
