Thread: Shared Lucid Dreaming Tutorial

This is very interesting and amazing. Thanks for sharing your experiences. So basically, the requirements for shared dreaming are that you are able to lucid dream well and that you both intend to do it. Is that right?

It's hard to say for sure if shared dreaming exists until you do it yourself and verify it for yourself, but I've had enough freaky coincidences to make me think it's very possible. I'd also be surprised if Raven, Nomad, and so many others were just in a big conspiracy to fool everyone into thinking it's possible. That would be a silly waste of time.

Hopin' to see someone on the moon! I'll share my dreams, if you share your dreams!

Waking people up is pretty tough to do. But, anyway, often shared dreams are not synchronized in time.

I am just starting, and am going to continue of course. I just ha a 5 day long ND last night, and I was meditating the whole time(yes soooo gnarly). My goal is to RV someone, go to them(all in the dream state of course), "lucidize" them, and then have a nice chat and download them with some info. Hey, I'm on youtube, my username is mortclyde, and I have a hell of a lot of information for anyone who wants it hehe(I get downloaded every day from my "spirit guides") and I download stuff from the akashkic. Go on youtube, look me up, although I suggest you listen to me at moto.podomatic.com to get a good feel of my energy sig, because I like to act a little(for humorous purposes). Anyways man, GAME ON. I am so going to SD with both of you all, and am going to download you all with info haha that is going to rock your world. I have to perfect LD's first, but I am determined. Namaste,

Cool man.

Because if we accessed a higher dimension, according to my model, this would allow us to share a dream at any time. This also explains precog abilites(that I have as well), however you may have to know the persons personal consciousness subtle energy framework extremely well in order to contact them through the subtle energy fabric of reality(more details in the dreamworld). Also, why don't you guys go visit schools in the AP? A couple of my friends go to schools there, and they learn all sorts of crazy stuff. I just had a DILD last night, RC's are awesome hehe. Anyways, yah I have more goals than the ones aforementioned, but I am concentrating on stuff I could do tonight. Namaste

We do learn from other entities on the dream plane. Battle techniques, and the nature of the dream plane, advice for waking life.

Get your friends on DV.

Please post your dreams online.

May i ask whats the longest you've ever Ld'd? and how long you usually ld for?

Thanks again

and k,

Robert Monroe - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

he is the founder of the monroe institute which was set up devoted to explore human consciousness, popularized the term out of body experience and wrote a few books on lding, and remote viewing. From memory he was also the person who came up with the idea that while ap you had a cord attached to you which always pulled you back to your body as opposed to the other theory that ap is like leaving your car unlocked in the dodgy neighbourhood.

As far as contacting him on the dream plane, I am sure it is possible.

The silver cord is actually an ancient idea.

The book of Ecclesiastes in the Bible makes reference to a silver cord, which could also be a metaphor for the spinal cord.

Lucidity helps, but is not required. Intention is important, but also not required. The most crucial dream skill for anyone to have is Recall.

Makes sense. If you can't recall you've done it, then you won't even know!

This could be start of something big, keep it up. I'll join when I have more experience.

Hey guys. I just wanted you to know I haven't forgotten about this. Due to my circumstances I was for over a month in one situation or another that prevented me from giving much time to Lucid dreaming, but now that I'm back I want to try to do this as soon as I am able. Good luck as well to anyone just starting out.

I'll go to the moon some time. I never really leave the earth, or travel in space, so it'll be fun regardless of any mutual dreaming.

I've been having a dry spell for some time now so I haven't been able to go to the moon >_< I'll keep on trying though.
Anyway, I wanted to tell this one thing... One time I asked this person( you can call him a Dc or a dream guide) about shared dreaming. He showed me this image of lots of people connected by these...invisible strings? (some were green, some were red. Dunno if this is important or not) anyway, that person told me that only the people connected with those strings can have shared dreams, and the closer they are(as in, one string can connect many people), the easier they can dream together...

Also, this might sound silly, but is it possible that a DC would travel into someone else's dreams? And maybe turn into one of those night stalkers...

What a cool dream. Those invisible strings I call astral tentacles. We are exploring new territory here, so there is no "official name" for these things but many people have seen this. Some call them tentacles, some call them strings or hair. They are glowing tentacles of pure energy. We use them when we are awake and when we dream.

The only way for a DC to leave a dream would for it to somehow evolve or be gifted sentience. In my experience, this is possible. Normally DC's are manifestations of the mind, and will disappear if you ignore them.

A nightstalker is a combination of a dreamer and dream demon. The demon uses the dreamer's energy to increase it's own, and partially manipulates the dreamer's body, mind, and emotions. The dreamer also gains power, but they also lose full control over their dream body and dream mind.

Whoa O.o I had no idea...
That person also told me about this thing... he called it internet xD It's sort of like a web that connects everyone's minds and such. and you have a 'site' where you put up some sort of information every day... What are your thoughts about this? Owo (I tried 'browsing' that internet xD Went to a 'site' about feng-shui, cuz I was interested in it at the time. saw some house interiors...) That person told me that it was sort of like training ( I kept on nagging him to teach me how to exit my body and stuff.. an OBE, basically. but he said I wasn't ready yet)

I've only dreamt of the DC once... I can't really ignore him, since he's a character of a story I'm writting... I have a habit of finding characters oddly similar to him in books, movies and such nowadays. The thing is, he always dies at the end :/ even in the story I'm writting. I was wondering whether he could migrate into someone else's dreams too xD
How does that giving sentience thing work...?
what is a dream demon?
Sorry if I'm getting out of the theme of shared dreaming >_<

Not sure how it works but you can make it work by feeling the energy imagining a portion of conciouness, giving it some sort of free will and walla, maybe the DC won't last much though. I've come to think if it just doesn't disapear, it's a division of your conciouness in some sort of way. If you want some interesting being created, incubate the energy for more time.

it's just a demon like humans are humans, the diference is, it's in the dream plane. Some if not most humans survive by recieving light (Sun) , demons (if not most) survive by consuming darkness, fear, doubt, sadness, suffering etc etc.

Can those demons also exist in the real world somehow? I told my mom about it, and she said she might have had an encounter with one... She didn't physically meet any demons, but when she was young, she had this period where she was extremely afraid of everything. Afraid of just staying at home. It lasted for one-two weeks and then she returned to normal.

It would have been possible I gave the character some sort of sentience then O_o Funny thing is, that character would be perfect bait for a demon xD He's full of anger, sadness and unfufilled desires. Also, I sort of tried imagening talking to him once while half-asleep. He tried to get rid of me. Apparently he saw me as this odd transparent ghost/cloud thing.

The dream plane is the real world. We exist there simultaneously. Sounds like this DC is not a DC after all.

This sounds so freaking awesome, if only i was better at WILDing though :/

will certainly try. See you on the moon.

I had this short dream last night, when I was trying to fall asleep.
I dreamt I was walking and talking with this woman with dark clothes and long black hair. I sort of knew I was dreaming, and she seemed to be a dreamer too. She asked me to teach her how to fly. I said okay and lifted her and this..piano? some sort of heavy object behind her into the air. She said whoa. In the dream I was wondering whether it was Raven...
Also, has anyone seen me wandering on the moon? I can't get lucid, but maybe I got there in a normal dream and can't remember...?

And also! I remembered this one dream... I dreamt of this one artist's character... I had seen some of the artists artworks, but none of the character that I dreamt of. I'm certain it was that character - I tried drawing him after waking up, but couldn't figure out how to draw his skin, then saw an artwork of the character and the skin was exactly the way it was in my dream(sort of like little vines all over the skin). Every single detail of the character matches and makes sense! Can you tell me what this was? I was kind of afraid of telling the artist of my dream...>_>

I went to the moon tonight! It was a rather silly dream though.
Something was off, so I did a reality check. Was suprised to see it actually was a dream. Started flying all over the place. Remembered the moon. Saw a moon in the sky and suddenly I'm on it. Saw something like a forest on it. Then lots of meteorites start falling to the moon... and nothing more interesting happens.

Tell me if anyone finds meteorites with glowing blueish/purpleish stuff inside or two dogs wandering around in the moon C:

I thought about what you said Nomad about our culture not teaching children or giving any credence to these phenomena and I felt a flash of what could be. I always thought, and this is said a lot, that I was crazy for being so enmeshed and compelled by my dreamlife. At times in my early twenties I was more excited to sleep each night than I was to get up and face the day. I had no frame of reference for my experiences but felt them to be powerful and important, at least to me. That alienation that one feels for being concerned with things that others don't find meaningful has a dual action both to make one feel alienated from others and at the same time alienated from oneself and one's own experiences. Hence, the feeling often expressed, I thought I was crazy.

That flash I felt was what if the power that Freud exerted on the popular culture was in an alternate reality enjoyed by somebody more worthy like Jung and what if instead of sex hangups, taboos and mommy/daddy issues people had begun to concern themselves with archetypes, dreams and synchronicity. Maybe our children would be learning about this interactivity that lies at the heart of the dreaming and not staring out of their eyes at a TV that is forever suggesting that our rapport with one another is achieved by modern and somewhat artificial means. I'm not saying that technology is bad, but it is informing us on an instinctive level that I don't think can be fully appreciated. Somebody wrote recently that "Basically, our dream selves are dumb and have no clue they're dreaming even if a giant octopus emerged from the sky and sang showtunes, " as a comment for why we miss such obvious clues that we are dreaming. But aren't we being asked to suspend credulity and reality in our day-to-day on a more continuous basis than ever?

My sense was that through my dreams, and there were many of them of this quality and others of merely personal relevance, I was engaging other beings in an interactive world. That night after night I was traveling in a group of others, through amazing lands, or traveling around a city accompanied by someone and speaking with people who were standing in circles or sitting at tables. That I was being taught, and I saw the other students and felt a moment of competitive recognition. These dreams culminated in a dream of such archetypal virtuosity that I thought I saw the cosmic struggle itself being played out in full theatrical effect. Yin and Yang, in a god-like display of combat complete with spells, taking our world with them across the threshold into a new age.

Nomad and Man of Shred, thanks for sharing your experiences. I feel empowered to pick up where I left off in a pursuit that took me down a difficult road to a very dark place before.

I think there are many things that we have to free ourselves from. As our mind begins to absorb information in childhood, we become more and more attached to the physical world.

It's taken me years to try and remove the stigma that when I think "God" I think "he" or when I think "Communism" I think "bad". We've been trained this and indoctrinated into this since we've known.

The first step I see is to not tell your children that dreams are a figment of your imagination, to not indoctrinate them into religion, and to have them think as openly as possible. These are the children that teachers seem to struggle the most with, because they question everything they say with a sincere "why?" This thread and the various times I've gone through it are keeping me working towards dreaming. I can't thank any of you shared dreamers enough. It feels like fate to me that I was bound to find this site (through my best friend who seems to know everything about me without me even telling him.) and stumble upon this thread.

Now if it was just dumb luck and all of this shared dreaming stuff is false, which I highly doubt, since I'd really like to trust you all, thank you, again.

I'll know eventually if shared dreaming is real by firsthand experience! I'm coming to the moon one way or another!

Shared lucid dreams are real!!! I had one with my friend just a couple nights ago! I still can't believe it, the whole thing just seems too amazing.

That's awesome. There is a forest on the dream-moon.

I have been thinking about that... How we don't become lucid in waking life. We justify weird things or effed up things around us, just as we do in dreams. For example: someone being beat down in the street, and people just walk past like a bunch of idiots in a trance... They probably are in a trance, induced by television.

Where is the forest on the dream moon exactly though? Is it near that biodome thing...?

The Biodome is full of all kinds of plants and animals.

The Land of Nod is a giant rainforest.

Recently, we terraformed the entire Moon, and covered it with trees. Now, it is The Green Moon. The Green Moon is hidden so only some people can perceive it, just as the Biodome is hidden.
