Shared Dreaming range?

[Daredevilpwn]

I saw a couple of shared dreaming stories. But most of the time the two dreamers were next to each other. I am wondering do you have to be near another person in order to share dreams? Like for me I live in NC but a friend of mine lives in MD. Right now I am not a lucid dreamer but assuming Both me and my friend were advanced lucid dreamer. If we planned a time to go to bed and plan where the setting of the dream takes place. Would I be able to have a shared dream with my friend? Or would I just get a dream character of him and not the real deal?

Apparently, yes. Somebody on here told me of somebody they met on the internet who they've shared a dream with. I think how close you are to the person helps a lot.

Shared dreaming? Dreaming is all in your head. Can't share that... Sounds like bull honkie to me

Shared dreaming? Dreaming is all in your head. Can't share that... Sounds like bull honkie to me Ah, but is it really? There's no doubt that dreaming is the produce of the brain, but who's to say you can't connect with others? People have reported incidents which would suggest you can - I've even experienced something myself which is rather too coincidental to be passed off as nothing.

Personally I believe anything is possible. I read some cool experiences online about shared dreaming and it seems like something I would like to try one day with a friend. I just want to make sure the physical location of this person effects anything. Also Graves, you say you experienced something similar to this? Do you mind sharing this experience?

From the information i have gathered, shared dreaming is possibly thanks to the earths electromagnetic field so really the range of shared dreaming would be anywhere on earth. so have fun shared dreaming with your friend

The experience I had was a lucid where I was outside and it was dark. Me and my friend had established we'd try seeing if it was possible to go into each others dreams, so I went and looked for her. It wasn't hard. There she was just randomly chilling out somewhere, but for some reason she was really blurry. I went up to her, said hello and explained that everything she was experiencing wasn't real and that she was, in fact, dreaming currently. She seemed to respond to this and become somewhat lucid (if not already). I then proceeded to teleport us elsewhere (have no idea how I did it) as I didn't like the surroundings. We were then in some kind of building and she was still really blurry. Then she just disappeared. When I woke up I asked her what her dreams consisted of around 5-7am. She said she was lucid but didn't feel stable. She was outside and it was dark, then she bumped into me. I took her elsewhere and we were in a house, to which she then woke up shortly afterwards. Seems rather similar, don't you think?

I think the distance doesnt matter...... here in New York, I had non-LD shared dream with Katsuno in Germany. even with my friend in Korea... but I guess you have more success of having shared dream with someone who is close to you. the important thing is that you and your shared dream partner have to be asleep at the same time. shared dreaming is possible.

Shared dreaming? Dreaming is all in your head. Can't share that... Sounds like bull honkie to me it typically takes in our head..... but I believe that shared dreaming occurs when the dreamers transfer/ send constant telepathy/ information to each other. they can recieve the whole part or just some part of it. like the Internet... everything works in a monitor and a computer... but the Internet gives us space to share informations. like here.

I agree. As it is, humans constantly send sub-conscious vibes one from another - this is how we pick up on body language, etc. Who's to say we can't harness these vibes into something greater? And if so, why can't it be shared dreaming?

What is this ''information'' you speak of? Well Michael Persinger conducted an experiment in which two subjects were put in separate rooms isolated from earths EMF(electromagnetic field). The rooms we sound proof and completely dark and both of the subjects were wearing a helmet that produced the same EMFs. In room A a light flashed 3 minutes into the experiment and again 7 minutes in. It could be seen that there was a spike in test subject A's monitored brain activity. There was also a spike in test subject B's brain activity who reported of seeing a light flash at 3 and 7 minutes into the experiment. Yet the light only flashed in room A. SO the assumption is that because the subjects had the same emfs around them they shared their experiences. The same can be thought for Dreaming because we all share the earths emfs

I'm not sure if distance is actually taken into the equation, of only had a few (possible) shared dreams. These were all with the same person and they only live about 3 kilometers away from me.

[Windhover@]

haha I just wondered if we can contact 'aliens' from an earth-like planet thru dream if the distance really doesnt matter... :O

Like for me I live in NC but a friend of mine lives in MD. Right now I am not a lucid dreamer but assuming Both me and my friend were advanced lucid dreamer. If we planned a time to go to bed and plan where the setting of the dream takes place. Would I be able to have a shared dream with my friend? Or would I just get a dream character of him and not the real deal? Since shared dreaming, if it is real, exists outside the laws of physics as we know them, there's no reason not to believe that the range is limitless. So start dialing up those aliens, Windhover! Why is this so? Mostly because the electromagnetic energy produced by the brain is far too weak to project even a few feet, then the telepathy involved in shared dreaming would have to be of an energy that is not electromagnetic. If that's true, then it also might not need to adhere to Einstein's relativity rules, so shared dreaming communications can move faster than light. So in addition to using a currently unknown energy source, it exists outside the realm of time and space. There's also the problem of targeting: How does a dream-sharer find his communications partner? Since we're assuming here that shared dreaming works, we also have to assume that that special shared dreaming energy can be directed, and directed anywhere. And, since it's likely just as hard to direct thought energy to the next room as it is the next country, there's no reason to think distance is an obstacle. So, if shared dreaming exists, then it by definition does so outside the bounds of time and space. Therefore, distance does not matter. How's that for rationalization?

Wow! I would have replied earlier to this but I was caught up in a lot of school related stuff. I must say that was a pretty darn good rationalization. Thank you for taking the time for writing that. And thank you to everyone else that also answered my question

If it helps, I live in South Carolina and I've had a shared dream with someone who lives in Maine.
