Nearly seven years ago I had a profound lucid experience in which I transported through a wormhole and appeared in a clearing within a circle of doors, next to a basin of water for scrying, a dojo and a lobby containing two blue entities that happily welcomed me. They spoke to me and explained that I was at a crossroads for dreamers. A place for intermediary travel and/or training and general lucid practice. They showed me the guestbook and urged me to sign before I left the crossroads and entered a door into another dream.

It wasn't until two months after this lucid dream, that I discovered the Lucid Crossroads project. This is a site and idea that has close ties to DV and has been brought up several times over the years. Published by a past DV member, the crossroads was started as a visual guide to help dreamers. But one is supposed to visit the site and use that as inspiration to induce the lucid dream. Imagine my astonishment when exploring lucid dreaming online one day that I see specific images I experienced firsthand in a lucid dream two months prior.





In a daze, I continue reading on the website and see the dojo, the circle of doors, the scrying tub, and two blue individuals in the lobby with a guest book.

Shared dreaming has been getting a lot of discussion lately (or perhaps it has always been a hot-button issue) but I just wanted to know what anybody thinks of something like this? Though perhaps it may not have been started as an experiment in shared dreaming, could the Lucid Crossroads been reinforced by enough dreamers in order to make it some sort of actual shared dream space?

I recently have revisited the Lucid Crossroads after meeting another talented dreamer in my 'real' life. I relayed the concept of the crossroads to him and he visited it that very night and met me there to go over some dream battle techniques, and to show off his abilities. I apparently showed him how to wield soul sword. This same night I had a lucid in which I summoned him at the crossroads and went over DIFFERENT training techniques.

Though we didn't remember the other's dream, I believe it is interesting to note that this dreamer and I tend to become Lucid at different points in the night. I typically WILD when I first go to bed, and he becomes lucid later in the sleep cycle, nearer to morning. (so though we may not be lucid in each others dreams at the same exact time, we might be sub-lucidly connected)

Of course, there's no absolute proof. The only solid proof is my intuition and how I FEEL.
