When I went to bed, I said in my head, ‘Subconscious, you listening?’. A reply arose without my volition - ‘Yes’ (I’m assuming that was my subconsious’ doing), so I then thought ‘I need to speak to some aspects of my personality. No better time then in a dream. You know who I need to see.’ I hoped it’d work but I wasn’t entirely sure of it.
[color=blue]I’m half-asleep, and at this point I habitually do nothing as not to wake myself. I’m seeing some sort of bar type of place crowded with DC s. I’m still aware of my body in bed at this point, and I know that the bar is a figment of my imagination. I then called out: ‘Repressed[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color], [color=blue]we need to talk.’ I found myself with a DC who looks alot like myself, yet slimmer and wearing a peculiar outfit I spoke to this part of me, who reminded me that the reasons I’d used to justify repressing it were ill-founded. I called upon the part of myself that was responsible for driving me to repress this aspect and asked why. The DC that answered me looked like an ‘ideal man’, who wore a leather jacket, and I knew represented my desire to be accepted as man. He couldn’t give me a good reason, just saying that the[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color] [color=blue]was wrong and needed to go. After pondering what I heard from these aspects, I turned to[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color] [color=blue]and I accepted it by merging my dream body with the manifestation. I’m filled with a positive feeling knowing that a burden has been lifted. The ‘man in the leather coat’ is gone now. So I ask the dream: ‘Where has he gone, why?’ A version of me in a exquisite suit walks up to me and explains that the healthy[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color] [color=blue]and the aspect that was my masculinity had both been harmed as a result of[/color] [color=green][EVENT][/color], [color=blue]and[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color][color=blue] had fractured into an accepted and repressed half. The ‘man in the leather coat’ was the malformed sense of masculinity. As I had fixed the problem, Repressed and accepted[/color][color=orange][ASPECT][/color] [color=blue]had merged to become[/color] [color=orange][ASPECT][/color], [color=blue]and that he (the man in the suit) was the complete, ‘healthy’ aspect of masculinity.[/color] I then woke for a short while and that was all I can recall.[/color]
And all of this happened in what I suspect was a NREM dream state…
Can complex dreams happen in NREM? If not, what sort of dream was this?

Dreams can happen in NREM, but how complex is complex?
NREM dreams are usually blurry and unstable, but you can still be completely lucid, have conversations with DCs and so on.
I’m going to agree with Tggtt. I’ve woken up after an hour of sleep, which I believe was mostly NREM. And I recall it starting with darkness turning to blurry image based on what I was thinking about, then the blurry image eventually turned into a solid dream.
