Hello everyone, believers and skeptic! Here is the idea. We can talk all day on the debate thread and that is fine, we can also stage fun experiments, but what can we do to look at the practical problems with the idea?


Please do not post here about if you do or do not believe in shared dreaming. No debate or skeptism is welcome here. That is because this thread has nothing at all to do with if Shared Dreams exist (I will simply move any comments about that to the debate thread for being off-topic). The idea I have here is that I will issue a couple challenges to everyone. These challenges are straight forward and simple. It is my opinion that if shared dreaming exists it would likely take certain skills to achieve it. We can talk for months about proof or experiments, but let's try working on some basic lucid dreaming skills that I feel would enhance the effort. Skeptics should join in and try the challenges if they want. I also welcome comment on other basic LD skills that we could all work on, that may help in the process. Skeptics, just use your imagination, like if you were writing sci-fi, and chime in ideas of which skills would be needed in your fantasy version of the real world.

Here are my first 2 challenges:
1) Some think meeting at a location would help. I challenge each of you to simply go to, or summon a pyramid in your LD. No, do not worry about meeting anyone. Just see if you are skilled enough to have a pyramid appear in your LD and go to it. No mystic aspect involved, simply prove to yourself that you can intend on going somewhere and then get there in a dream.

2) I challenge you all to clearly and with an audible voice (no just thinking it) proclaim very loudly in an LD "I am looking for someone!" Do not pick a certain person, just prove to yourself that you are a skilled enough LDer to intentionally say the phrase in a clear powerful voice.

Ultimate Challenge!: I challenge all LDers, skeptic included, to combine the two challenges. Go to, or create a pyramid. Stand on top of it and say in a loud voice (audible, not just thought) "I am looking for someone!"

Feel free to post a link to DJ if you pull it off. Feel free to comment on the idea and suggest other challenges that seem related to this. Please do not debate if Dream Sharing makes any sense. This is not a thread about Dream Sharing! It is just about developing real LD skills that may be helpful if such a thing did exist.
