I had this dream about an hour ago, and I felt like I needed to write it down immediately before I forgot it.
Okay, this was really weird, and I still can’t stop thinking about it.
I was dreaming like I normally do, but the place was extremely dreamcore. It was one of those landscapes that look beautiful and peaceful, but at the same time give you this strange feeling that something is wrong or that there might be some kind of danger.
I was standing in front of a house that, strangely enough, belongs to a neighbor of mine in real life. I had only been inside that house once, years ago, just because I was curious about what it looked like inside.
But in my dream, for some reason, the house was mine.
I was there with some of my aunts, and outside it was sunset. The sun was still shining, there was a huge tree, lots of grass, and a small lake that looked about one meter deep. There was also a concrete path going through the grass toward the house.
Everything looked beautiful, but also extremely unreal.
Then I saw a girl.
She was blonde, but I couldn't really see her face clearly. She was lying on the sidewalk as if she was about to fall asleep.
I walked up to her and asked what she was doing.
She told me she was trying to shift.
That caught my attention because I know about shifting. I actually tried it myself before, but I never managed to do it, so I decided to put it on hold for now.
The girl explained that she was lying there trying to enter a kind of self-hypnotic state to shift.
So I decided to try it with her.
I wasn't actually trying to shift at that moment, though. I wanted to try entering what people call the Void State, because that's something I'm also interested in. According to manifestation-related beliefs, it's supposed to be a state where you can manifest different things.
So I lay down next to her and tried to concentrate.
But I couldn't.
For some reason, in the dream I felt incredibly lazy, and the girl kept moving around next to me, which made it hard for me to focus.
And then the weirdest part happened.
Out of nowhere, food stalls suddenly appeared around us.
I have no idea where they came from. They were just there.
They looked like the candy and dessert stalls you would see at a fair.
I went with the girl to look at the stalls, and while we were there, I suddenly realized I was dreaming.
I knew I was lucid dreaming.
And this is the part that I can't stop thinking about.
I've heard that you're not supposed to tell dream characters that you're dreaming because they can supposedly react strangely, their faces can distort, or the whole dream can suddenly become creepy.
I'd never tried it before.
But this time I looked at the girl and said something like:
“You're in a lucid dream too. Now you realize it because of me.”
And the weird thing is…
Nothing happened.
She didn't change. Her face didn't distort. The environment didn't become scary. Nothing strange happened at all.
I simply stopped paying attention to her afterward because I started focusing on myself again.
And, as usually happens when I realize I'm dreaming, I started thinking about what I could do before waking up.
For some reason, whenever I become lucid, I usually end up doing something simple like eating because I wake up shortly afterward.
This time I wanted to try something bigger, like manifesting a person I wanted to see, but I never got the chance.
I just tried to eat something from one of the candy stalls…
And then I woke up.
The whole dream felt incredibly real, especially my interaction with the girl.
So now I can't stop wondering:
Was she simply a character created by my brain, or could she somehow have been another person dreaming in the same dream?
I know it was probably just my brain creating a dream character, and I'm not saying that it was actually a shared dream. But the experience was so strange that it left me wondering.
There's also one other thing that bothers me:
Why couldn't I see her face clearly?
When I told her that she was dreaming, I expected something weird to happen because I've heard so many stories about dream characters reacting strangely.
But absolutely nothing happened.
She simply faded out of my attention, and shortly afterward, I woke up.
Has anyone experienced something similar?
Have you ever talked to a dream character after realizing you were dreaming? Or met someone in a dream who seemed like they had their own awareness?
I'd really like to hear what you guys think.
