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.

I think it's like the Internet, "Welcome to The Crossroads, you have L'Mail".

Lol no, I mean, are brains could be more than we expected. Like Nintendo Wild - Fild (yeah, sorry). I mean, psycic people for example. They have do funky stuff with the power of the mind. And how the hell do people expect to say in a Dream "Excuse me, mate. Do you know how I can stay Lucid". And then (without reading from the internet) his saying "Well you do this, you rub your hands together". I mean, sound impossible?

And as for Post #5:
The Simpsons comes to mind.

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.
