This is a group of shared dreamers united under common goals. The ultimate goals may never be achievable and yet, why not reach for the heavens?
This list may change, the goals are simply off the top of my head for now.
Goals:
1. To make progress on working out the bugs with shared dreaming. Specifically:
2. To be able to have shared dreams at will.
3. To be able to target individuals. So far success has personally only been random and not targeted.
4. To general expand on what is possible with shared dreaming.
Ultimate Goals:
1. Mass shared dreaming. To be able to cause the entire world's population (or as many as possible) to experience the same dream.
2. To be able to influence people through dreams. In particular to access and add/remove/edit people's memories. Inception.
3. To dilate time in other peoples dreams.
Imagine the possibilities. If someone were to grow skilled enough to cause mass numbers of people to all experience extremely long, potentially mind-warping nightmares. You could kidnap minds and basically they would be mere playtoys in the hand of a god for as long as the god wished to play with them. No judge or jury could ever find you guilty of anything. You could convince the extremely rich to give you money simply to avoid having more nightmares. You could change the way the mass public views dreams in general. You could make the government very nervous lol. I could go on and on about the possibilities. They could be used for great evil, or great good. Humans could potentially evolve. They could exist in a shared dream plane as gods and live for as long as they desire.
What would you do with such an ability if you were to succeed in reaching these ultimate goals?
The point of this thread is not to debate whether such things are possible. They may not be. The point is to attempt to make progress towards these goals anyways, and to discuss what these abilities could or should be used for if ever attained.
I look forward to hearing your thoughts.
