Unplanned Shared Dream?

I have this connection with this person that has proved itself many times. Little things like I know when he/she will be coming to my house. Or just knowing what he/she is thinking about, or thinking something about this person and then it happens. So we have a sort of psychic connection. Now we are not particularly "close" in real life. We hang out but always with other people. We rarely get a chance to talk alone. That's the back story.

So last night I dreamt that we were together and talking. We were sitting together and talked about how we looked different in the dream world and I said it was a projection of how you see yourself. After that he/she took over the dream and took us to this pool area with kids playing in it. I love kids, I've always loved kids playing in pools. And I noticed the kids were very real looking, unlike us. Meaning they had scars and pimples, imperfections. So I thanked him/her for making them look real. Then he/she took me over to these large windows and we were looking out at this carribean scene. it was dusk and the blue sea looked beautiful. We could see the beach in the moonlight. Then my SO moved in the bed next to me. In my dream i could feel it and I said to him/her in the dream. I'm going to wake up now, I'm sorry. And I did. I've never identified when I was going to wake up in a dream, which makes this even more of an strange occurance.

This really felt like a shared lucid dream. I felt that I was controlling the first part and him/her the second. I can't ask this person. It would be innapropriate. So do you guys have any opinions? Anyone else had an unplanned shared lusid dream with someone that felt like this?

Thank you for your opinions in advance.

Hey there

Yes, I've experienced this kind of thing before, and the problem is that a dream can be very convincing. Without asking the person, you'll never really know.
I've had a number of seemingly shared dream experiences, and only one of them was freaky (it was shared with my wife, who was even lucid in the dream)

My point is that it may have been a shared dream, but most of the time it only feels like it was :)

As for knowing when you're about to wake up, this has also happened to me in an LD. It's quite a strange sensation though.
In my case, I was having a very sad dream because I had fallen in love and realised that I was going to wake up. I could feel my lucidity slipping away and I was pretty unhappy about it.

You could always just say you dreamt about them and see what they say. Or describe the dream to them just not mention they were in it, again see what they say.

Actualy I did do this. I explained the dream on my blog and if this person replies with a similar dream I suppose I'll know. I don't even know if this person knows what LDing is! How frustrating. But I'm going to keep trying it because it was a damn good dream=)

I will be disapointed if it wasn't shared though. boo. =(

CONFIRMED...WOOHOOO. The person only remembered a little bit of it, didn't even remember me being there but it was a deffinate confirmation of the caribean scene, and knew someone was standing next to them. The person has awful dream recall and hasn't LD'd but I plan on helping with that once I get better at LDing myself...I'm going to be a dream guide...oh yes :D

awesome, good luck w/future shared lucids :D

Uh that's cool, but the problem is that you explained it to them, rather than letting them explain it to you.
That can colour things.
But if you were careful about the way you worded it - congratulations :)

You've got a point there Placebo. Why does this stuff have to be so...subtle. I just want it right out there like a movie. Damn subtlety! Damn these blurring lines and grey points!

Wow, congratulations Suorkaterina. That shared dream sounds amazing. I've always believed in this being able to happen, along with ESP, and this is the first account I've heard of it! It's really fascinating. Good luck with the future.
