Could be.

I have experimented with a link in the other direction. Instead of bringing RL people together in a dream experience, bringing lucid dream abilities into the RL.

If you imagine that everyone you meet in RL has very recently been having dreams and has been doing so for a long time, then it is easy to see that they are closely linked to this area of consciousness. If I tap into the dream field while awake (practiced over decades of lucid dreaming and meditation, bringing dream reality into waking reality rather than the opposite) I have found that I can influence what another does as would happen in a lucid dream. This may be somewhat how hypnotism works, I don't know. When it happens it feels like a Jedi mind trick.

This is a link that I can do on my own, with instant verification and not subject to the interpretations of others.

What I've found most useful about studying shared dreaming is how it bridges the gap between dreams and waking life. In a normal dream, there is only your influence. In RL there is the influence of countless people. In a shared dream there is a small number of people. Shared dreaming is the missing link between dreams and waking life.
