Morning of January 27, 2015. Tuesday.

Although bilocation - of which there are different types related to both the dreamer's perspective and features of the environment - happens all the time in my dreams, there is rarely any direct focus or even in-dream thoughts or reflections on the concept itself. Oddly, in this case there is, possibly because of being more and more focused on dream work over the years (especially in linking hundreds of certain dream types together for more precise analysis).

My dream is relatively short and uneventful. I become aware of my youngest son still being in the house when in reality he should be at the library. I talk to him and he claims he is at the library but is also here in the house. He even mentions the word "bilocated". At this point, there is no distortion in his appearance and he acts as himself as well. This changes before my dream loses cohesion. I do not challenge his idea about being bilocated and my in-dream thoughts are not that coherent as it is.

Over time, the only dream-like event that occurs is me looking more closely at his face and seeing that it is not rendered correctly (as is typical with dreams). The whites of his eyes appear to be missing and replaced with salmon-colored recesses. His head is also a bit more vertically rectangular. I eventually realize that, as well as being older, he looks nothing like my son - even though he did at first before I focused on my dream's environment more, though not with full lucidity (and in fact, he does not look realistically rendered at all, yet still not nonhuman). This is a good example of a dream becoming more distorted when you try to focus on a particular character a bit more (similar to when you try to read something in some cases), but of course, it does not always happen like this. There is no significant symbolism or meaning in this; it is simply how dreams work.
