Ever had a person in a dream become self-aware?

This happened to me last night. It was a lucid dream, so I was changing things at will, and this woman saw what I was doing and realized who I was. She started to cry, because she knew as soon as I woke up she would "die" or cease to exist.

Is there a precedent for that kind of thing? Could the person have represented a dormant or ignored aspect of my subconscious?

    Unless you have had serious issues where you may have acted inappropriately, or have felt extremely guilty about something you may have or not have done, then I would just say it represents a dream of events unknown to you. Whether it was good or bad will determine if you may want to have a Cigarette after wards, therefore wanting to invite the mystery lady back for another evening.

    I know these dreams can seem really real and accurate, but they may just a small part of your sub conscience of things known to you, like details of a house you may have been to, friends you may know, and then details may just be added in as your mind has the ability to "CREATE". I mean look how many times we have invented things we thought were happening out of Jealousy, which when investigated had no viability at all. and were just things we imagined out of fear and loss.

    I used to have strange dreams that wouldeventsialize as real events, not because I was psychic, but because I had fear of loss and knew the person I feared of losing was someone I suspected of cheating on me to begin with. So I had prior experience to what was to be in my dreams, and then the reality fed my brain the information, it then recreated the experience using my creativty. It was like a Computer Website cookie that would attach itself to my computers IP adress. Every time a certain feeling of fear or loss would materialize to interferere with my sub-conciences ability to use basic reasoning skills, this cookie will "Fill In The Blank" and recreate the experience with the new data it has. So what may seem real is just your minds ability to "MESS" with you and twist facts around your sub concience is trying to work out..

    You only assumed her reason for crying. In effect, dreams are mostly events in our subconscious that play out. You may find the same woman in your dream next time. So she may never really cease to exist for as long as your subconscious exists. Dreams are natural, illogical and more times than not down right meaningless. I figure there's no need to worry much about them.

    some extra conservative dream theorists postulate that targets are basically a consequence of extra sensory enter "left over" from the day past. this concept might clarify why some targets are incredibly life like in ever way, and each so often circulate away you guessing as to what incredibly got here approximately and what did no longer. this may well be a doable rationalization in the adventure that your daydreams are life like in nature. Conversely, in the adventure that your daydreams are extra marvelous and precis, yet are combining with actual daily circumstances on a continual foundation, then there may well be a reason for alarm for the reason this is a sort of psychosis. in my opinion, i've got had many targets, like the 1st occasion, that seeped into the subsequent morning and left me thinking in the event that they actually got here approximately. this is definitely complicated, yet extremely unique when I figured issues out.
