That has been discussed here many times. It is unclear if this is even a possibility. None of us have had clearly shared dreams like you are talking about. Some have had experience that may be hard to explain, or that give hope for this. |

I'm seeking information on how to SD. By SD, I don't mean having a dream very similar to what another dreamer experienced. I want to know how multiple dreamers can share the same dreamspace in real time. Assuming both dreamers are already skilled with lucidity and control, what would the dreamers need to do in order to experience true SD? |

A few people here are confident to have shared dreams or shared astral projections. |
|
I cannot confirm any personal experiences of shared dreaming and I cannot confirm how it is done. However, I think it would be fun to take a crack at hypothesizing how it might scientifically work. |
|
Here is at least one shared dreaming tutorial that has been created here on Dreamviews. http://www.dreamviews.com/beyond-dre...-tutorial.html |

It would be nice to hear from them, if only because they tend to be interesting people. But, unfortunately, you will likely find them not directly answering your OP. Generally, I've found, folks who say they have DS'd usually offer as proof things like "Because I said so," or "because I was there," or perhaps "Because my friend remembers dreaming things that ere just like the stuff I dreamed," and offer as technique little more than things like "Both of you get lucid and you just do it," or "I really don't know how it works or how to do it; it just happens." In the context of their posts, and perhaps their position of being unable to explain a transcendental phenomenon that is happening to them, I really have no problem with all that and truly hope that what they're saying is true (more in a sec), but in the context of this thread's request, you very likely wouldn't get much technical help from them. |

They are explanations for how two people can have remarkably similar dreams. I think this is the closest one can get to having a shared dream as you describe. I'm not sure if it is possible for there to be two consciousness's in one dream. |

I once participated in an informal experiment to see if the other dreamers and I could do this. We did not manage to share any dreams—nothing that was even disputably a shared dream, much less indisputably— but a few times, there were similarities between our dream content that seemed odd enough to call a coincidence—or other interesting connections. For instance, I had a dream where I was in Ukraine—something that had never happened before, in any of the previous 4,438 dreams in my journal. And then I found out later—only after the dream— that one of the people I was trying to share dreams with was living in Ukraine. That’s a little hard to explain—but it’s not going to convince any skeptics, either. |

I think a perfectly shared dream would be nearly impossible - a dream scene isn't a place, it is more of a projection, and two different people won't project exactly the same thing. |
|
Those are believers. I don't have experience which would suggest reality of dream sharing. |

There's also Waking Nomad and Raven Knight, though I don't know if either of them still posts here. Waking Nomad changed his name some time ago, and I don't remember what it is now. |

Here’s an example of what I call dream telepathy. A few years ago I read a short story that begins with an image of an owl picking up a mouse, which bites its talon. The story was old, but I hadn’t read it before. That night, in place of my usual lucid dream there’s just a lucid silence. The next day, my sister, who I didn’t grow up with and whom I talk to only once or twice a year, e-mails me about a dream she had that night which begins with her picking up a mouse which bites her on the finger. That’s followed by other content which meant nothing to her, but which provided an insight to me in relation to a metaphysical question I’d thought of the previous day, and was easier for her to put into words because her chemistry vocabulary was different than mine. There was also a detail in my otherwise silent dream that connected to hers, but I’ve since forgotten it. |

WTF, This is DV. This is the only forum where anybody has posted legit shared dreams. Read these: http://www.dreamviews.com/dream-jour...-you-moon.html |

The Best of my dream journal
MoSh: How about you stop trying to define everything, and just accept what you experience, and explore it.

Where did all of this lead? The forum is almost totally dead now. Why? |

Maybe you are gifted, maybe a few people here are gifted with shared dreams. I don't have anything other then your words. I mean no disrespect nor I try to accuse you of anything. |

For the most part the people I've shared dreams with (more along the lines of dream telepathy) were not people I know IWL, but I just discovered by reading dream journals in here. Several times I found weird coincidences that matched dreams I had had the night before, and I hadn't yet posted mine. So if you want to experience it, I would suggest reading a lot of dream journals here on DV - chances are you've experienced it many times and just don't know it. You need to cast a wider net - asking one person about their dreams is too small of a sample size. |

I want to just add that, the people I shared dreams with were people who's dream journals I had been reading - so possibly that helped 'align' us somehow, I don't know. Just a hypothesis. Possibly sharing dreams consciously, I mean by talking about them or reading DJ's, makes the difference. |

Darkmatters- the more "shared" dreams or even normal ones you are reading the greater probability you will end affected by what you read. It is more probable that you will have similar dream then. |

I had totally forgotten about dream sharing. I am glad that discussion of it is being stirred back up. |

I did excitedly read a lot of Waking Nomad/Man of Shred/Raven Knight shared dreams and the tutorials they posted, but I haven't been able to experience anything at that level of shared dreaming. Then when Hathor said something about dream telepathy and gave a brief description of it, I started to experience it. Then shadowofwind wrote about it and it really started to click for me and make sense, even though it went against my rational materialist beliefs at the time. |

It's funny because you and I have it backwards from each other. You experienced it, THEN figured out the details and got comfortable with it. I've done so much spiritual research that I've already gained comfort in all the weirdness. I'm totally prepared for when I do experience it. |

It is more like: I read about shared dreams, I got intrigued and I started to do experiments. |
