I had another shared lucid a few days ago, in fact my last two lucid dreams have been shared. Do you think that could mean something? Both were unintentional, and in both the other person wasn't a very active lucid dreamer (so they only remember the first part of the dream, since they don't work on their recall like I do ). In the first (which you asked me to re-write, I guess I'll do that after this post) my friend and I both knew of lucid dreaming and shared lucid dreams, we then contacted each other in the morning and were astonished. In the second one (the one that was a few days ago) I shared a lucid with my girlfriend, but in the dream I made her lucid since she doesn't actually practice lucid dreaming. This makes me wonder, since she doesn't actually remember being lucid just everything leading up to that point; how do I know she wasn't a dream character? How can you tell whether the person you're dreaming with is actually sharing a dream with you, or is just another manifested DC?
