Shared dreaming what is happening?
Is the waking world more important than the dreaming world?
The waking world is a gigantic energy exchange. You exchange energy with your environment, objects, other people.
In a dream the only energy is your energy. Everything is a manifestation of your mind.
When you share a dream with another person or entity the dream contains their energy too.
The entire dreamscape may be a creation of you and the person you are sharing the dream with.
Permanent dreamscapes may be created and visited. The energy of those dreamscapes will always simply be the energy of whoever created them.
Other permanent things that can be created in dreams include: dream characters, objects, weapons, and just about anything else you can imagine.
Everything in your dream is a part of you unless it is another person or created by another person (or entity)
Because everything is a part of you in a dream you can use dreams to find out more about yourself.
Things like emotions, current mental states, and many other things you cannot even imagine can be explored.
