Each day I grow more and more convinced I am, in fact, not dreaming alone. It doesn't happen every night but lets say once a week or so the dreams are different. I can feel a foreign force when interacting with some actors. I see it in their eyes. I can also learn new things, in a way. I've had that confirmed, I learned something in a dream I for a 100% didn't know before. I exert plenty of power over my dreams(sometimes transitioning into semi-lucid or lucid dream) and usually do whatever I want to. But not when these people are around. They have authority and steer the dream in a direction they see fit. They mostly present as men, but occasional woman comes around too. As long as I behave I'm treated fairly, even complimented or given what I want. I got used to it. But in the past, when I didn't, I was getting punished or tested. On occasion the dream even transitioned into a horror-like scenario.

What do you think? Who are they?

You've got to choose whether you want to continue down the path you are on with them. Or defeat and consume them in your dreams to further yourself.

>Or defeat and consume them in your dreams to further yourself.
That uh, doesn't sound like my style. The consuming part I mean. I want to reach a level of clarity where such harsh methods are obsolete and primitive. But to take these guys on is an interesting view on this. I guess the point is if you further yourself far enough you'll be the last man standing. And what's worse than being alone forever?
