Different Personality in my Dreams latley

[Dansk]

maybe (and i could be quite wrong about this) it is that you are feeling more in control in your own life, not necesarily (spell?) socially, that could mean that could mean the way you see relationships with others could change (for me death usually signifies change).

Remoron has metaphysical implications.  When I was on that drug I was quite capable of killing someone.  My eyes were litterally black with rage, I was very 'not my self'.  Certain Anti-Depressants are capable of generating severe mood alterations.  Combined with issues you refuse to acknowledge (core images if you will) combined with a high energy state and you have a bad combination (like drinking and guns).

Perhaps you need a med change?  Or jsut buckle down and get to the root of the problems (meds don't cure anything, they are at best a bandaid until true healing begins).

Yeah I totally agree about the effects of Remeron. They definitly made me crazy. Right now I am off that medicine and on somthing called Lemictal. Don't know the exact spelling. But I know these medicines arent going to fix much. Just a guide. I am just goin along with the process.

Dan, i do feel in a bit more control of my life but nothing like a death experience has changed that.

One thing I'd like to see a med fix though is my memory. Since I can remember, I have not had a good memory for certain things. But its weird though. For example, one of my favorite movies is Independence day, and I could not tell you much that happened. I could tell you about a main event or part of the plot. But when I see a second of a movie clip, I can tell you what happened. Or say I am flipping through the Tv channels and i see a clip of somthing for like a half a second, I know what moive/show it came from and most of the specifics of the clip. But when I dont have a visual image in front of me, It's really hard for me to comprehend stuff.

But when it comes to phone numbers and names, I am usually very good at remembering. I only need to hear the thing once. But I am guessing that is because it is alot sorther than a TV show.

I also have difficulty trying to recall the specifics of a past event in my life. I can remember one important thing but unless someone reminds me or says somthing about it, then I am lost.

Any one have any ideas??

[Dansk]

No idea. But I know what you mean, I have a bad memory too.

Yeah Dan, I'd wish that there was a technique to help with memory problems. Because I'd be totally all over that.

Anything is possible. So why not?

In some of my dreams latley, I have had different personalities.

Normally, I am either a quiet person or a very loud random person. This all depends the people that I'm around. But at home latley i have been very moody and angry. This is probaly because odf some of the medications I have been taking.

But anyways..... I have felt like a leader in my dreams latley. I have felt in charge and unstoppable. I can't really recall details but know that these things happened. I can only remember parts of dreams when I wake up immediatley from them. I don't usually feel like a leader or having need to take charge, It is just not me.

I have also felt the need to kill people in my dreams. Not actually doing it, but making those threats. It's like i have been invinciable latley in them.

Any ideas? it might just because i was on Remeron but I don't know

[Lickerish]

Well in my dreams often I have often taken on different personalities and played many different parts.
I have been different people taking on both female and male roles or as myself living a another lifestyle.
Basically whatever role my dream would choose for me to play out as if I were an actor acting out an already scripted play.
It can be really weird at times but is also alot of fun.

Intuitive exercises are suppose to increase memory.

Besides being aware of your surroundings, also recall something or someone not there, but was... at an earlier time.

Another thing to try... guess what is in a piece of mail before you open it.

It's better to remember a little accurately, than a lot of things inaccurately.

Memories come back in a timely matter anyway.This is part of the fun of the journey.

I'm not on any drugs now. (not on regular base like medicines) But I have exactly the same! In my dreams I'm acting totally different. (especcialy in my lucid dreams) In my real life I'm very busy lately and  absent minded when I'm home.

[Shrike]

Could be that you're venting an action you miss in real life as well.  You could feel in control in your dreams because your subconscious realizes that it is missing form your waking life.  Everyone wants a little control sometimes, and the subconscious really shows you what you want to see.

I think we all find the lucid dream experience quite freeing. You feel as if there are no repurcussions for our actions, because after all it is just a dream, right??
I remember my first lucid dream, i was in a super-market. When i realized i was in complete control of my actions, and the other shoppers around me were completely oblivious I started throwing things. Anything I could find, I was throwing it. I was throwing stuff at shoppers and felt a satisfaction when I bonked off their heads. I think i threw a frozen turkey at an old lady and laughed when knocked her over.
This type of behavior wasnt my norm, but I felt it was ok because it was just a dream. As lucid dreaming carried over to conscious OBE's with the NEW method, I found myself acting more like myself. But there were times were I would still act out, the most memorable time being when I slapped a child upside the head who at play like a bully in the school yard.
Now i find myself trying to accomplish things and being held back from the guilt of these actions. I feel that my spirit guide wont fully support me until he feels like I have redeemed myself and put this behavior behind me.

I guess what Im trying to say is what I have found is there is always a price to pay for negative behavior. What constitutes bad behavior is a whole other discussion.

Yes exactly! That's it.

I guess what Im trying to say is what I have found is there is always a price to pay for negative behavior. What constitutes bad behavior is a whole other discussion.

I think you are right, I'ts very nice to have all controle, but I think I will get bored after a while to just throwing things and doing all that kind of bad things. And about the spiritual guider:
What you see most times when you read or talk about guides, the basis rule of guides is, you can play what you want in the beginning (first period of your lucid dream experiences) but you should addept yourself to a "higher"(?) level by searching for the "deeper being of you"(?)

So now, I'd like to start a discussion about what bad behavior constitutes.

I think it doesn't have any negative consequences. But I think it has no positive results on the long term.
So what I'm saying: If you only satisfy yourself with being in controle like doing bad things, it will have no results.
Instead you should search deeper. But this is offcourse (I think this is also a part of the constitution) very difficult, especcialy in the beginning it's hard to control yourself. But I think when you get more lucid (in my experience you can have different degrees of lucidity) it's more easy to control your desires, (the negative ones)  like sexual frustration, agression, (kinda like abusing your being as a god in the dream).

I'm getting better in controlling myself...lately I'm trying to talk to people about their being in my dream. But they never give me concrete answers, OR they just think I'm crazy...OR they talk a around it with all kind of difficult words and stuff  

I think there is some kind of constitution that says you should search deeper. There is more than just throwing stuff at peoples heads and laughing at them    (yeah it IS funny)
