Lucid Dreams and memory complexes

[Brittany]

What's interesting, is this 'astral' world can be both shared and of your own making. As far as I know, the first being's you encounter, tend to be from your own unconscious. Then you replace the intense fear with curiosity, and they simply no longer show up as 'evil'. You can then 'become friends' and work with them directly (like active imagination) to resolve complexes and what not.

I've noticed in some of my dreams when I interact with "evil" personalities it feels like some sort of game. Like a roleplay. We step into the roles but beneath all of that we realize it's just for learning purposes and even though I'm running and the bad guy is chasing me, I really don't feel afraid. The roles are transient.

I've also encountered beings in my dream that struck pure terror into my heart. I detected nothing from them but an aura of hatred and ruthlessness, and I could barely even move in such a presence. Makes me realize how many layers there are to any archetype, especially something so broad and arbitrary as "good" and "evil."
