   I'm slightly confused by a recent dream. Brief version:   
      
   ***   
   I took with me an underaged guy to a party, which somehow "tainted" him,   
   and was supposedly a bad and irresbonsible thing to do. Later in the   
   dream the boy's mother was wondering why his son had become "tainted",   
   and was indirectly accusing me of doing something to him. Now the   
   interesting part: I pretended I did not remember the earlier dream   
   sequence, and lied that nothing had happened (at the party). I then   
   explained to myself I had been too drunk to control my actions, and too   
   drunk to remember what actually happened. All this occurred within the   
   context of the dream, and most of it wasn't lucid.   
   ***   
      
   So. It seems I utilized (Freudian) denial and suppression in the dream   
   in a way my (Freudian) ego might have done in the waking world. But it   
   surprises me that my dreaming self had the access to these defense   
   mechanisms at all! Might this mean there are some connections between   
   the ego and lucid awareness in a dream? Like I said, I'm confused here.   
      
      
   Cheers, KC
