Thread: Shared Dreaming Counter-Argument

It sounds really easy like this, but there will probably be some issues.

Let's start with the first huge issue. Please find me 2 people who claim to have this ability. Next out of the entire pool (so far zero) of suppossedly qualified subjects eliminate any who do not claim to be able to do this reliably with over a 50% success rate (so, zero minus, hmmm). Now come up with enough funding to take them away from their lives and fly them to a controlled enough enviroment (anyone that skilled is probably leading a good life and will want a nice vacation package for them and their spouse).

I am sure other problems would come up, but until you got that far, how could you even start?



Snoop, It was not my agrument. Read Avian's stuff and see if you can figure it out. He seemed to be saying if you believe in aliens then you also MUST believe in monsters under the bed AND shared dreaming. I was just as confused. See below,

Aliens? Come on, do some research into modern cosmology. Of course I 100%+, as a scientist believe in aliens. Do I believe in aliens here on Earth? I find it very unlikely due to that same study of cosmology. Rational thought, leading me to varrying degrees of willingness to consider something.
