Thread: This Cannot Be True!

I don't believe it either - but am involved in an experiment right now to try proving or disproving the possibility.

How can we say for certain that ANYTHING is impossible in a world that can be described by quantum mechanics, located in a universe that is likely one of an infinite number of parallel universes?

How do we know that lucidity occurs in an entirely different universe? My understanding has always been that dreams are mental constructs; illusions that our brain creates utilizing sensory output.

Like ska said, we shouldn't just jump to conclusions. It's not very likely, but we can't really say it's impossible until we try. I once had a dream that a big floating blob was kidnapping me at mcdonalds, so I hid in the bushes outside while he bought me an ice cream cone and I saw my mom drive past and I jumped on the back of the car and got away. Then my cousin told me about a dream she had and it was the same exact dream. We even drew a picture of the blob to see if we were really dreaming of the same thing, and both our drawings looked the same. I dont know if it's a coincidence or not, but that's one of the most random dreams I'd ever had and not something most people would dream about. Although I dont believe in that whole "dreamwalkers and Nightstalkers" thing. I mean, it sounds interesting, but come on... they're talking about people joining factions and legions and banning their victims from dreaming and nighstalker hunting and all that stuff. sounds a lot like a fantasy to me

i truely believe without a doubt its bs

Actually, i am experimenting with this "dream sharing" and the results are promising so far.

Can you please tell us about what you are doing and what you have discovered? If you don't want to go public with it, would you PM me?

I have a rather recently found genuine interest in this. I'm not a a believer, but I am coming around to being open to the notion that something could be going on here more than the common explanation covers.

Thanks.

don't knock it till you've tried it. it is easy (in relative terms) to establish its existance but a lot harder to prove its non-existance.

it would be a great way to get lucid though, eh? you're walking around some odd place thinking "this is normal and i am just living my waking life. la de da"

then this guy runs over and says "hey, i'm super duck from dv and you're dreaming. get lucid now!"

wham! you're lucid and you love me for it. two birds with one stone, me thinks. hehe.

Huh????

Methinks you misread my point - meaning I didn't state it very well.

Our WORLD exists in a universe that is likely one of an infinite number of parallel universes.

There... try that.

Yeah, I recently watched a documentary on string theory, or M theory, or what ever they are calling it now. pretty fascinating stuff!

Most paranormal occurrences can be explained statistically.

What would you say the odds of two people sharing an extremely similar dream on the same night are? One in a billiion? One in a trillion? Pick a number.

365 days in a year * 6.6 billion people = 2.4 trillion dreams in a year (just assuming for sake of simplicity one dream per night). That's just a single year. When dealing in numbers that large, it would be surprising if you didn't hear about a few cases of people sharing dreams, or dreaming about a catastrophic event before it happened.

It's good to be open-minded, but investing your beliefs in things that aren't backed by sufficient evidence is just foolish.
