Thread: Shared Dream FAQ's

Okay, if I'd have knownthis forum existed, I would have joined over year ago. I know should introduce on another page I'd imagine but I'm pressed for time, spending the majority in awe reading the shared dreaming thread. You cancall me Lorenzo, pleasure to meet some actual oneironauts, finally. Psychology and lucid dreaming are my passions, there is so much potential in conscious dreaming! I wantto experience shared dream, and although, according to posts I've read, you're bit overextended Nomad, I'll attempt contacting you. I welcome you to contact me as welland would very much appreciate it. A distinguishing feature of mine is my hair, auburn and past my shoulders. Anyway, apologies again for the possible misplacement of posts, and here's to seeing you in dream, Nomad. Maybe we could fight, something or each other.

1. yes.
2. sometimes.
3. yes, sometimes.

Cool! I probably should have asked this before but can you go into someone's dream to induce lucidity?

Hey, I hope you don't mind if I ask these questions but...1. Can you enter someone's dream who doesn't believe in this kind of stuff? 2. When you or the other person wakes up do they wake or disrupt the other persons sleep? And 3. Can you gather large amounts of people and put them into one dream? Thanks!

I believe that if the person who's dream it is wakes up both people will wake up. I've only experienced shared dreams twice. But once when me and my brother had the same dream, I woke up while answering a knock at the door. I asked my brother about it and he told me things just kept on going without me.

I tried a few times, but it didn't work. I have only been able to do it with people that I already do shared dreaming with.

The Dreamworld seems to exist with or without dreamers. I think maybe some dreams are in the larger Dreamworld, and others are in smaller Dream Bubbles, like planets, or tiny universes. That's really cool that you had a shared dream with your brother. Would you mind entering it in your dream journal?

Yeah, but everyone is different and you can't expect them to look like they actually do, or yourself looking like your real life self for that matter. They might interpret you as looking like what they think of you as or think of you as looking different and vice versa but it may depend on the person at any given time, can you say i'm wrong? How can you know they are the same person that was on this website? Any evidence at all?
Oh, and yes, how can i prove you are real? I can't because i know that my thoughts create my reality and therefore none of this might be real, you all could be simulations, i could be a simulation, could i ever know? Does that mean i am crazy? I don't know, because i can't put myself in another person's mind, if i could, i would then be them and wouldn't be saying this in the first place.

If you question everything, you will only find that your thoughts limit your reality - Me. I don't know if someone has already said this but whatever.

"The Dreamworld seems to exist with or without dreamers." And you are just going to say this without any evidence at all? You practically made that up. What is this "dreamworld"? Why would it just be called "dreamworld"? Why would it exist with or without dreamers? Would this mean when no one is dreaming it isn't called "dreamworld" anymore? Also, why is it "The dreamworld", how about "Our dreamworlds"? You seem to also give some "dreamworlds" higher priority than some, like a meta world where some dreamworlds are within a larger dreamworld where these dream worlds may be as you said "smaller Dream Bubbles, like planets, or tiny universes." So, you are saying these universes, planets and dream bubbles are fixed, so they can't be changed? I say this because you are the one who created this idea without any evidence whatsoever and you seem to say these things as fact, without proof. Would that mean my dreamworld was there before i even existed? Also, don't forget, there is something called a subconscious in the brain, are you going to toss that out the window? If i said to you that the dreamworld is only in the mind what would be your answer? Just some questions.

Yes, I am pretty sure I can say that, but I might speak incorrectly.
How can you know they are the same person that was on this website?
I don't seem to be able to know for sure.
Any evidence at all? probably not.

I don't think so. Does that mean i am crazy?
Probably not.

Yes.

Everything I say I quite possibly make up.
What is this "dreamworld"?
The Dreamworld seems to me to be another plane of existence similar to the Astral Plane, but beyond it.
Why would it just be called "dreamworld"?
I personally started calling it that recently, to convey my perception that it exists without dreamers.
Why would it exist with or without dreamers?
Just like the Earth can exist without humans.
Would this mean when no one is dreaming it isn't called "dreamworld" anymore?
People are probably almost always dreaming, because it's always night somewhere, I think that probably other people from other planets and places in the Earth dreaming also, and animals, altogether on the Dreamworld.
Also, why is it "The dreamworld", how about "Our dreamworlds"?
That would be like saying, "Our Universe" when we commoner humans don't even own the land we walk on.
You seem to also give some "dreamworlds" higher priority than some, like a meta world where some dreamworlds are within a larger dreamworld where these dream worlds may be as you said "smaller Dream Bubbles, like planets, or tiny universes."

I think they can probably always be changed.

From my perception we each have our own private Inner World inside the DreamWorld or Dream Plane. Our Inner World is ours to rule, and be alone in, in dreams, if we want to. We may be able to do almost anything there without harming others because every character is probably a thoughtform, or facet of ourselves. Do Inner Worlds exist before the dreamer is born? I think maybe.
Also, don't forget, there is something called a subconscious in the brain, are you going to toss that out the window?
Yes, then I am going to toss gnimearderauoy kcehcytilaer out the window after that!
If i said to you that the dreamworld is only in the mind what would be your answer?
Yes. The Dreamworld seems to exist in the Omni-Mind of the Infinite Multiverse.
Just some questions.

this is a dream. Wouldn't it be funny if I was somehow your Dream Guide from another dimension?

Very interesting, I never really thought of it that way. The dream I had with my brother was maybe even 10 years ago so some of the details are not so clear anymore. If I where to write what I remember it would be a short entry.

Hey, nomad.
Just want to say, if no one has said it, that the Shared Dreaming Etiquette 1 is not letting me in. Says that I don't have privileges or some crap.

Just ask a moderator for permission into the Deep Dreaming sub-forum.
