How do I dream share in an LD?

**lucydity** · 03-17-2011 11:50 AM

Ok firstly here's my LD

Ok well I don't remember the actual point that I was lucid so I either don't remember that far back or I entered the dream lucid, which is odd, All i remember was going to a friend of mine's house, the sky was pitch black with a few lonnnggg thin clouds stretching accross it, i was in an actual place in todays world, my friends house, i went inside and started to try to convince him that he was dreaming, His back room was lit up and he was sat on the chair telling me "theres no way I'm dreaming" so i went ok I can fly watch, we went outside and I started trying to fly.

I couldn't so i sat telling myself "this is my dream, i have full power, i am a god of my own world and i can do anything" Eventually I gave up on the frustration and grew wings and created a strong wind drift, It was hard to take off at first but then i managed to get into the updrift of the wind, I flapped my wings a bit and saw my shadow and my "angelic" wings behind me then i put them into a sort of diving position (like when an eagle nose dives) I then floated about 10m up and looked at my friend and said "see?"

I then sat on the ground and started to try to call my DG, I didn't want to shout because I thought my real body in real life might start shouting "I WANT TO SEE MY DREAM GUIDE!!" so instead i thoguth it over and over in my head, i turned to the left and i could see his legs in the corner of my eye, so i spun around to the right and he had dissapeared, I remember seeing him in blue jeans and brown boots.

So then i decided to go to a friend who got me into LD'ing, so i said, ok I'll teleport to him, so i waves my finger in a square thinking of a portal directly to this guy, i stepped into the portal and then I was right in front of him, he too didn't beleive me I said, look pinch your nose then try to breath through it, he didnt beleive me, I held my hand up infront of us both and started to push my finger through it, seeing the bones inside my hand being pushed apart by my finger. I got a bit frustrated that I could dream share with a guy that also likes to LD, I then woke up.

Ok as you can see I didn't have complete control over my dream but I had mainly control over it, this is the first LD in about a year as I haven't tried in a while. So what are your thoughts?
Any thoughts on how to dream share? Do i need to wake myself up and OBE or can i induce it through LD?

As far as I read, shared dreams are induced by using the person's energy signature. This can either work by using a portal, a door or a mirror. There are also those who teleport instantly or change the dream with the intent.
I think it mainly depends by your archetype and your preferences. I, personally, used a door to access in another dream. It has been a semi-confirmed shared dream.

**lucydity** · 03-17-2011 01:56 PM

Well I opened a portal and teleported to him. Maybe i didnt do it using an energy signature or what you were talking about. Any tips?

**saltyseedog** · 03-17-2011 10:25 PM

If you expect something in your dream, it will probably be there. If you have dcs, but you assume they are other dreamers and you tell them they are dreaming, they are probably going to respond in a way that makes them seem like they are another dreamer.
When transitioning to a dream where your friend is, you focus on his energy, or the energy of the dream he is in. Its hard to explain energy. Every person you know has a feeling behind them. Focus on that feeling. The way I descibe this isn't exactly how it is, but I descibed in a way that would be helpful for you where you are at.

Ahhhh i see! thanks salty ill give it a go, i do pretty much understand where you're coming from, i guess its tweaking myself to understanding how to find someones energy and what their energy feels like i guess, my next LD will tell me

Shared dreams are not real. The person may be in your dream, but they are not having that experience with you. Now, I'll probably get flamed for this, but... Dreams are in your head, they are vivid visualizations, they are not real, and they do not take place on some "dream world, dream plane" or w/e you call it.

**saltyseedog** · 03-18-2011 03:49 AM

wow thanks for contributing to beyond dreaming. Everything you say is an assumtion.

No, just plain common sense.

Dreams aren't in your head, prove me wrong.
People thought that the Earth was flat, and they said it was common sense.

Chill bro, remember why you are doing this, I'd do it because I'd like feeling the thrill of waking up and knowing it happened, if rynkrt3 believes it isn't real ... so what, if he thinks, or believes, or has common sense, or just knows it aint real... that doesn't have to mean anything to us believers =P, we decide to make our decisions, not because we want to prove the truth of something to someone else, but because it's a desire that is born from the soul, feeling the thrill, of loving yourself more, of learning new ways of doing things, etc etc. Doing it only because of trying to proove the truth of something is sad.

double post, please delete it.

How about you prove me wrong. Go have a LD and summon me or what ever.

As far as Lucid dreaming is concerned I think that shared dreaming is very hard if not impossible, Most of the time it is just a dc as a projection of someone you know, now maybe its possible in the Asteral Planne (if such a thing exists) I want to find out first hand. And everything is created by your mind, Its a powerful thing and we dont even know how to control most of it.

**Polarity** · 03-18-2011 02:28 PM

Everyone can choose what to believe; however rynkrt3 spoke in an objective view on these matters. Maybe that was just me.
My intention was not to flame him, nor make him change beliefs.

Ive had multiple LDs where I summon a friends, do dream stuff(keeping it short) it all seemed so real, like, it was odd, it didn't feel like they were DCs, it seemed like it was actually them. But months later they still don't recall any such dream(s).

My post wasn't only based on assumption. I don't know I'm right or wrong, honestly
I hope I'm wrong. If we had a way to prove or disprove shared dreams that would be awesome.

I didn't mean to sound like a dick in my 2 post.

**Philosopher8659** · 03-18-2011 03:15 PM

Well, one is more mentally capable when awake, how do you share an emotion? An insight? An understanding? If you cannot do these things when awake, what makes you think you can do them when asleep?

**Ethernalboy** · 03-18-2011 04:42 PM

Im not saying Im not open-minded about these things but DC's that look like people you know often take their personalities, because your mind is trying to make your dreams seem as realistic as possible, It can be confusing, I wish it were true about sharing dreaming (who knows it might be possible) but there is not concrete way this can be proven. Ah but I wish I could share dreams with my real friends haha all the adventures we'd have. :]

ive never had a shared dream, but ive had so many where i was with someone who looked just like they should do, but acted completely out of character. last night my dad was going along with a catholic mass for one good example

. i like your explanation for it cheers

**lucidmirage** · 03-20-2011 04:45 AM

Sorry for posting randomly, but anyway I also believe that dream sharing isnt real. They have been some incidents were me and my friend IRL would have the same dream, but that was only when we were younger, and it might have just been a coincidence.

Thats only my opinion of course

**lucydity** · 03-21-2011 12:47 AM

Well i beleive in science so biologically i shouldnt beleive in shared dreaming...but if you've ever read up on something called quantum physics you may begin to look at things a little differently about OBE's, shared dreaming etc.

Just my opinion.

**saltyseedog** · 03-21-2011 03:29 AM

Why trust people who aren't open to the ideas in the first place.

**lucidmirage** · 03-21-2011 04:08 AM

Guys it doesnt matter what you all believe, its your opinon right?

**saltyseedog** · 03-21-2011 04:59 AM

Well I know it is true. You guys do not know if its true or not and are making assumtions. What does it matter if you have an opinion? Does that make it true or not?
