I think it's nearly impossible to distinguish in a normal dream. Any intelligence could be your own or a guide.
If you were to become lucid, near or at the point of controlling the dream yourself, it will be easy to recognize foreign influence. Sometimes when I try to change things, the dream self-corrects or I feel resistance. This is simply either my subconscious or my guide. Once I was in a lucid dream, on a bus, and a passenger 'felt' different from the rest of the fake animated people. He didn't contribute to the plot and appeared halfway through, just sitting there and seemed very dark. I paused the dream and yelled at him directly to get out, and it did :) I doubt any neg-created dream would be elaborate and full of plot.. I think the only reason one would create a dream is to induce a level of fear and lack of control. If all it's energy were spent creating a dream, it wouldn't have the energy to sap yours.
Just thought of something... Bruce speaks of some core-images not being your own, created by a neg. I wonder if the process of implanting one would involve a dream sequence, designed to make a certain fear or deep emotion, and we're rarely 'lucky' enough to remember it?
Hello people! I have a question in regards to manifestation of negs in dreams, whether and how can we distinguish between the real thing and our imagination.
Namely I had a dream few weeks ago where I encountered a weird-looking spiderform. It acted 'intelligently' as if I had no control over it in my dream but was rather anticipating its actions. It was sitting in the distance away from me and after 2-3 minutes of watching 'attacked' my left toe. It specifically attacked this location I have no idea why. I then grabbed it by its legs, and whacked it left and right off the ground in my dream until it remained lifeless on the gravel.
I felt no bad vibes but this 'spider' appeared as I said, out of my control it acted on its own.
Is this a neg I've sensed somehow and happened to manifest in my dream or am I panicking? If I'm panicking then how does one tell negs that manifest in dreams.
Thank you and I'll keep whacking those negs!
