Hello. I often have dreams that reflect thoughts or experiences that belong to other people, and know of a number of cases where other people have had dreams that belong to me. This doesn't just happen with dreams, it happens while awake too, though for me its most obvious while dreaming since that is when my imagination is the clearest.
For me, the value of experiencing something of someone else's mind in a dream, is it gives me a new perspective that I haven't had before. It wakes up something in me that I was ignorant of, and I become more than I was. In the reverse case, where someone else encounters my thought in a dream, their experience of it also adds something of value. They dream it differently than I could have, usually with some insight or understanding that I didn't see. I'd give some examples, but I'm hesitant to publicly post details related to the private thoughts of other people.
There is a muse or daemon or fate or universal angel of some sort that is involved in the creation of all these dreams. This same entity is also involved in the creation and ordering of events in waking life.
One way I know that some of my dreams aren't "mine", is they often contain specific thoughts and accurate premonitions that relate to other people's lives which I would have no other way to know about, and which I can objectively verify later. Similarly, one way I know that other people have 'my' dreams, is their dreams sometimes contain details that are quite specific to my personal private thoughts and experiences. To varying degree's, there's generally some overlap, some synergy between their minds and mine so that the dream images mean something personal to both of us, in somewhat different ways.
The reason I'm posting is I'm looking for more shared dream experiences, as food for personal growth. If you're interested in collaborating, there isn't anything you have to 'do' to make it happen, the 'muse' will just make it happen if he/she finds it appropriate. If you have a dream that seems foreign, which you don't understand, describe it to me, and it may be something I'm already familiar with. Likewise, if you have something you want to understand that seems beyond your reach, ask me and I'll see what I can find out.
If I dream something that's unfamiliar, without anyone contacting me first, I'll post it here if I'm comfortable doing that. If you want to communicate something more privately, send e-mail to my yahoo account mjbackues.
