Thread: Shared Dreaming - How to find other people when lucid!

Great read, thanks! Firstly whats this, Above Essence technique? And do you think, or is it in your experience, possible to make someone lucid?

it usually never works when someone else tells you to become lucid. learn to become lucid on your own.

Good read. Thanks MoSh!

Nice tutorial and thanks for the bump, otherwise, I wouldn't have seen it. Personally, I would love to dream share with you guys, since, you seem to be the most experienced with it and would make it easier to focus on LDing throughout the day and night

I know there are some frequent LDers on this forum. I hope to see some people actually try this method. It did work once for some people at MM.

I'm going to try this with my friend. We had a shared dream earlier last week (except neither of us were lucid), but she woke up and said, "Wow..I had a weird dream last night," and I laughed and said "Hey me too,"

I started describing the place and what was happening and her eyes got big and said that's exactly what happened...and described the rest of my dream for me. There were a few differences however, but I think it may be how our perception was...

It's like that in waking life too. You can have several people describe the same car accident, but every person will give their version of the story with different details.

Yeah, that makes a lot of sense. It does make me wonder though how the places in our dream world relate to waking life... if two people can be in the same dream, then that suggests there really is a location out there...but on another plane? Or how much does our imagination play in the role of creating the area? Hmm..

i am very interested in the dream sharing technique! i ran into this site called the lucid crossroads which use the same method of making a scenario where dreamers can meet. they describe this place called "the crossroads" in which they explain this room or place very clearly. in this room there is a guestbook where dreamers can leave messages for each other or just simply put their name down showing they were there. some say they are able to go there, write something down in the guestbook, and then a different person can go to the same place and read the message, dreaming from a totally different location. then talking about the message together in waking life. i thought it was BS when i read the site at first, but the more i read about shared dreaming i am getting very interested in it. if you are able to give me some tips i would greatly appreciate it!

Thanks for the post...
Funny how everytime I read your tutorials or threads I seem to be re-inspired to try shared dreaming...
Unfortunately,i missed the class...I'll try this technique next time I'm lucid...
By the way,what technique of Lucid Dreaming do you use?
Thanks,
Sam

Not trying to be flippant here, but MoSh's first post had a whole whack of tips...

The main way to find real people when you are lucid involves changing dreams at will. Different people have different methods for this. Naiya uses a TARDIS, Raven Knight opens portals with music, and I voice my intent to change dreams.

I once found a white Owl while Lucid. I had a feeling it had to do with someone i knew. I voiced my intent to follow it and It led me to one of the most vivid lucid dreams I have ever had.

If both people are intending to dream together they might wind up in the same dream spontaneously!

Once you are lucid: Use your feeling of the person. Everyone in dreaming has a unique energy signature you can recognise them by. It is a subtle feeling of simply knowing THAT person IS that PERSON, no matter how they may appear to you.

Once you have this feeling of the person. Focus that feeling to change dreams and the dream you wind up in will be that persons.

ex from me and Raven knight.

My dream: Dream 4: I was playing a Sonic the Hedgehog video game. And i discovered a glitch. I thought it was cool so i ran out of the house and found Mark75 to tell him about it.

for some reason I got mark to follow me to show him the glitch. But when we arrived Raven Knight had taken his place. She followed me into my house and we were talking a little bit. Her face was hidden behind some sort of white hood. she stopped me and said that i should look at her. She pulled the hood away and revealed her face. I was staring at a child like face that seemed young. but all her hair was white or grey. It was kind of strange. She asked what i had thought... I just said it was nice to finally get to see her.


Her dream:
I focused on using Through the Never to open a portal to find R. A portal opened. Nomad and I went through the portal. On the other side we were in a neighborhood. We were just outside a house. There was a man there. He went over to Nomad. He told Nomad that there was something he needed to show him. I wondered if that was R and he was already lucid. Nomad and I both followed R into the house. He went over to his computer, which was doing something strange. R turned towards me now and looked a bit surprised.

"Raven?" he asked, "I thought you were Mark."

"Who?" I asked. Had he thought Nomad was someone named Mark? Apparently he recognized me, though.

"Can I see your face?" R asked. I realized I was dressed as an Assassin from Assassin's Creed. I pulled my hood away from my face so he could see it more clearly. He stared at me for a bit. I asked him what he saw. I wondered if he saw me the way I picture myself or if he had a different image. He stared a bit more and then disappeared. I pulled a Homer "D'Oh!" at the fact he had disappeared. I turned towards Nomad. He was also gone. I pulled a double Homer. ("D'Oh, D'Oh!") Now I felt like I was about to wake up. I barely got off my triple Homer ("D'Oh, D'Oh, D'Oh!") before I woke up.

You can also use a variation on the meeting place. Once you are lucid. Change dreams and go to the meeting place.

Another VERY Important thing: Guides!

Extra dimensional Entities, spirits of the deceased, Totem animals, and Higher (lighter) Density beings... Some are good, some are Evil. So pick your guides wisely. Some have been with your entire life and are simply waiting for you to acknowledge that they are there. Some you can find using the Above Essence technique. getting a few of them is handy, each one has something unique to offer. They serve as a voice in dreams and also a voice in your thoughts in waking life.

Sometimes All i need to do before bed is to pick a person or a subject to dream about. I do this by briefly thinking it, or writing it down. Then the next night or in a few days I WILL have a dream about that person or subject which I selected. often when this happens, in my dream, my guide will be right beside me. This works lucid or not!

could this mean that if I wanted my crush to have a dream about me it's possible? o_o or does both effort is needed

agreed. I advise having her permission to do that in a dream.

You should go in her dream and ask her if she likes you. People are much more open to express themselves in dreams normally.

Weird.. I've a dream with my crush before, a few actually where we did "stuff". lol. I never told her though, but could it really be possible that it was her and not a fake?

It could be possible... too bad she's not your actual GF so that you could discuss it with her.

Yep, that's the way. The feeling for the other person is leading us to the other person. I had several of these dreams but i had only one of them confirmed. Unfortunately i cant share here cos they are very personal The other problem is that some people have very bad recall so no confirmation possible at all. But hey the important thing is that it works!

that's awesome that you had one confirmed.

Glad to see someone posted an actual confirmation of this method. I'll try one of my friends. Then I'll freak him out when I know the dream he had. Or I'll try Kim Jong II. I would have done it to Osama Bin Ladin, but he died before I had the chance.

Woah u guys share dreams n stuff and i still cant get lucid o.o !!

This is pretty cool man. Thanks!

Cool, I think we can consider this as "Multiplayer Mode"

Despite my skeptism, this is a very well written and comprehensive guide. Nice
