A better approach to Dream Sharing

[Abra]

Every now and then, I design a semi-formal procedure for Beyond Dreaming experiments. In this case, I devised a method of dream sharing that might have a higher success rate. In current dream sharing experiments, lucid dreamers attempt to occupy the same dream at one time. There are a few innate difficulties this brings: 1. It will be hard to sync up members' sleep schedules to the point they are dreaming at the same time. 2. They'd have to be lucid at the same time, too. Even more difficult to occur! 3. When lucid, they would have to conjure the same place in which to meet. If one person's vision is different than another's, they may miss entirely. How do you solve these problems? Send a messenger. Recruit a dream character (or guide), tell them a message (or even a package!), and give them a week to send it to the person you request. The benefits are as followed: 1. You don't have to sync up sleep schedules. 2. They don't have to be lucid to receive the message. 3. You don't have to worry about finding out what dream setting they are in. In the ideal experimental setting, you wouldn't tell them what the messenger looks like (and obviously, you wouldn't tell them what they were sending!). But since the receiver may want t know who to look for, you should tell them what the messenger looks like (however, to prevent priming effects, your description of the messenger should have nothing to do with the message/package being sent). To be valid, the receiver must record all dreams they have for a week before the message is unveiled. And... GO!

yes, i like it, the methodology is good, i will be trying this out. much better approach to this than alot of the 'I'll meet you and kick your ass' crap that i've seen on here boys are so childish sometimes!

wow..but that goes beyond dream sharing o_O; now were talking about a character in your subconscious projecting itself on its own time to another's head, unless im just reading this wrong?

so that then puts foreward the question of are dream characters merely created fictions of our own making? are they other dimensional beings that we encounter in other dimensions? are they other dimensional beings that are intruding upon our own personal psychic ramblings? What is their agenda? And if their agenda is to further our knowledge of the Dreamscape, then i think that the aforementioned experiement could work. i personally believe that there are spiritual guides who are assigned to us on an individual basis, to help and assist us in all aspects of life, but particularly in our spiritual journey, of which dreaming is most definiteley a powerful part. i see no reason why one persons guide couldn't connect with another person, or maybe their guide, to test the theory. it might just work! and i dont think that time really comes into it in the dreamtime. all time is now

More than dimensional beings I see it like projecting through lucids, which seems harder yet simplier than all the Dream Stalker things, can be attempt by any LD. It must be cool to try, but it shall be done at similar times to be linked to Dream Sharing, right? Because otherwise it would be helping to approach to a Dream World.

By dream sharing, do you mean meeting someone in your lucid dream, while they are in their own lucid dream? Is this actually possible? I'm very skeptical, but would be willing to try it.
