Thread: Shared Dreaming Challenge- not what you think.

As you note, Sivason, remembering is every bit as important as calling out that phrase ... you must have your waking-life memory with you in order to understand what it is that calling-out even means.

Even then, it's a bitch. I've been to the top of that "pyramid" many times (though it was never a pyramid), and shouted my dream lungs out, memory intact; only to get silence in response.

Though your steps are definitely the correct initiation into the process, even after you've mastered them, there is still the problem of contacting another dreamer, then knowing you contacted them, and, finally, understanding the meaning of that contact (i.e., who you met and what they said). I think Shadowofwind's post (just before yours) might hit that target a bit more soundly that even he is willing to admit...

Maybe you can suggest another basic challenge that you feel may helps us address those issues. Take your time, I am not sure what basic thing we can work on that may help, but if you can suggest something, I am sure we would all be willing to try it.
