Thread: Shared dreams : /

Personally I think dream sharing IS possible.

And yes, I've been asking myself the same question, it would be a lot more interesting if we could use our whole brain.

if this is possible, it makes me wonder what else our brains can do. I have heard that we only use about 10% of our brain power, so if this is also true does that mean, in the near, or not so near future, people might be able to do this on a daily basis, and wouldn't this count as a form of Telekinesis?

just imagine what we could do if we could untap that other 90%.

what do you think?

That 10% thing is a complete myth, I'm afraid.


Heres an article in Scientific American about it being a myth.

In fact we use all of our brains. Sorry.



If you want more info just google "10 percent brain myth" and theres many reputable scientific sources on it.

It's not a myth, its only a matter of intrepration.

When you memorize pi=3,1415926535897932 do you use your sense of smell, your sense of taste, your sense of light or your sense of emotions? No you don't! But you can. You can do it. You can actually use all your functions of your brain to concentrate on one singlet ask that apparently has nothing to do with the other functions. You can turn a number into a dream, and by doing that, you will use all your brain functions to think about the number. Remembering at this stage happens automaticly.

This is called synthesia, savants have it by birth, and they are extremely intelligent in one field, and totally retarded in the other. It's the ability to combine all your senses, which will result in using more of your brain. This is exactly why some people seem smarter than the other, because they use more of their brain at the same time.

So yes indeed, we do already use all of our brain, but we don't use all of our brain at the same time. Which is possible through intensive training and which does lead to much higher intelligence.

On shared dreams, someone should make a topic where everyone who wants to try out shared dreams leaves his name or something.. and then when we go to sleep we try to reach eachother in dreams and show eachother stuff which we post in the topic to see if it's really a shared dream.

Well it doesn't change the facts, there is no mystery brain stuff with hidden powers or whatever, which is the assumption everyone draws.


And it doesn't change that we already use all of our brains, just not at the same time.


But I have a horrible feeling if you found a way to make your brain all work at full power everywhere at the same time you would get a brain haemorrhage or a stroke. Like when your CPU usage is on 100% you always crash. Your computer doesn't become enlightened or whatever.

Ok first, the human brain doesn't work like an ordinary homecomputer. It works through parallel processing, it doesn't have one cpu, but it has billions and billions of them which it uses at the same time. Your brains can't crash. Actually, the harder the work load the more your brain grows. The number of neurons can't grow, but the connections betweem them do! And they grow fast. It takes only 3 days to create a new connection. Albert Einsteins brain had many many of these extra connections. You can actually train your brain during life like you can train your muscles. Your brain does grow in the number of connections, and its the number of possible connections that determine intelligence. The hypothamalus generates new memory braincells and new connectioncells all the time.

And yes there is still alot of mystery stuff on the brain and it's hidden powers. This has already been scientificly shown, and people have written alot of books on it. Memory champion of the world Dominic O'Brien for example, and the inventor of Mind Maps Tony Buzan. Read some books on the brain and the memory. Every human being has more potential than Einstein. We are just too lazy to use it. And as excuse for our lazyness we will always deny our potential.

The (human) brain is most likely the greatest mystery in this entire universe. We use it all the time, but we know almost nothing about it.

Telekinesis has already been scientificly proven in simple animals like bunnies. With their limited brain they are capable of telekenis, so it's not impossible human beings with the most advanced brain on earth are also capable.

Electrodes were inserted into the brain of a mother rabbit, and baby rabbits—without implanted electrodes—-were placed on a submarine that was then taken out to sea and submerged. A baby rabbit was killed, and as the scientists recorded, the brain of the mother, many miles away on shore, reacted at the moment of death. Setting aside all questions of animal cruelty and experimental ethics, the was interpreted to show that ESP existed and served to connect minds.

This is some expirement they did in the 60s, they really should experiment with this again, I dont' understand why nobody did any further research on this.

I'm not a savant, and I have synesthesia. I have it with numbers, letters, and colors. Each number and letter has its own color. Musical pitches do to an extent, but it's not as blaringly obvious to me as the numbers and letters.

There's been quite a lot said about the possibility that on average most people only use 10% of the brain AT A TIME. Musicians and meditaters use more.

I'm a musician...and I have synesthesia....lol
