Talking to "other people" in lucid dreams

I have had several dreams where I'm fully lucid and talking with or meeting "another person" in lucid dreams. I just make casual conversation and am pretty polite about it. Its just a really interesting surprise when you're talking to someone and the visual fidelity seems to be exactly like real life. Moreso its incredible how I can manufacture the other "person"'s thoughts and speech to be so different from myself (or even seemingly more intelligent and interesting than myself). Really the only thing I can notice that differentiates a conversation with a person in RL is that while I'm dreaming, if I put a lot of brain power into thinking, then I'll be sort of preoccupied and the 'dream person' won't say much for a few seconds because I'm directing my brain power into thinking for myself. I haven't had anything more than friendly casual conversations (including a lot of 'wow, you seem so real, isn't that amazing?!'). These are all people I've never met in real life, and its only one-off dream encounters, with the once exception of a girl who I did know vaguely in RL. I think from past trauma I have a hard time in waking life visualising things, but when I have been able to it's very vivid and creative. Its very strange how consciousness can be one way in waking life and then the brain can give you a conversation with what seems like a fully fledged person when you sleep. I've had a lot of lucid dreams where I'm witnessing full-length original songs which left me very moved. One time I watched about two minutes straight/realtime of a trailer for a scifi action movie starring starring myself as a space captain; it was literally like a capeshit movie with cgi from 30 years in the future. I've also had a lucid dream that lasted for a long time where I was painting the individual parts/cells on software to make mindblowing Kandinsky style paintings, and then watched them on display in a multi-tiered museum. There was a projector screen that was several stories tall with this art as motion graphics paired with original music. Basically, what the fuarrrk, wow, and how?. The question is, do any lainons experience interesting and meaningful conversations with people in your lucid dreams? What have you noticed personally about the mechanics of this? I'm not someone who gets very involved with this, I just treat it as a curiosity when it happens. It's pretty interesting but probably not something I'd want to get any more involved with because I'm afraid of getting too spaced out/ungrounded. I don't have any defined beliefs in anything spiritual.

Whenever I talk to people in my dreams, I usually make inappropriate responses. Sometimes I would yell, flip out, or not say anything at all. I think it might be a response to several traumas I had when I was younger, but I'm not entirely sure.

I have had only one dream sort like this (that I can remember). I am in my highschool, in a hallway I would very rarely go through (it was awkwardly placed, didn't have much reason to use it rather than another path). My high school friend is there, nobody else around. He doesn't say anything to me, I don't remember if I said anything either. We sit down on the floor (as we often did during lunch). After a moment a second instance of this friend comes down the hallway. He saunters over with a soykaf eating grin on his face and says something stupid like "uh-oh, daddy-o". I realise that it must be a dream, since obviously there can't be two of the same person. I then spend about twenty seconds just sitting there with two instances of this friend grinning at me while I wait to wake up and admire how real the dream seems. fuarrrking stupid dream, but it made me laugh when I woke up. Only lucid dream I've had other than one Sleep Paralysis instance and a weird half awake experience where I hallucinated a shifting grid of symbols overlaid on top of my vision (that one's interesting but not really the topic of this thread).

>>4743 I tried that once and my subconscious has not let me have a lucid dream since as apparently we scare one another. It got 'trippy' really fast as I woke up even faster than it got scary. Of course I had only in that moment realized I was lucid dreaming so it came as a shock to me more than the two women I was talking to. Oddly it was two elderly women of whom wanted me to follow them to show me something. I sensed something was off and jokingly said something about how I though this was a dream and when they said yes it scared me as being scared made them 'change'. There's a type of scary I can see in my nightmares that can't be described vividly. Another time years before that I was alone as I usually am when lucid dreaming and running through a maze of rooms that my subconscious makes as I went into a door, and then the other door, same door even, just wandering around before going too 'asleep' or waking up. I ended up seeing a woman in pink, brunette hair, blue jeans, standing away from me. Generic ideal mate I suppose was there. This frustrated me as I figured I was about to wake up as anytime in my dreams I've almost had sex or something else fun like drinking booze or ice cream, anything really, I wake up before I feel at peace, so I attacked the subconscious, ran at her turned back and as I did so thrashed around in my bed basically roughly grabbing myself rather than her/it. Also when feeling down I sometimes, while awake, put a noose around my neck just to let the subconscious know that it's instincts are driving it in the wrong direction and it better shape up 'or else'. I guess it's not a good relationship. Then again when human it's a prerequisite that you would have bad relationships and I have no life so it only makes sense that overall my persona expects drama even if there is none. It's by design, like Mr. Smith said about peace in the Matrix not being even possible. Our minds reject it.

>>4743 I usually commit acts that I would never do in real life if I were to lucid dream, like committing crimes or killing people. It rarely happens though because it's difficult for me to lucid dream, but when it does happen I basically feel a lot better in the morning. I think produces a sense of cathartic feelings that my brain for some reason has a desperate need for.
