I think it's possible, but I have never tried it. I think it's wrong, kind of like walking into someone's house uninvited. |

The shared dream discussion led me to think of this, although i think i have thought of it before but not given it this specific name. Shared dreams can require intention from both people (thats generally how its easiest, right?). But do any of you think breaking into someone else's dream is possible/have you done it? |

I'm not sure about forcing yourself into their dream. If you call the person's name, and get them to appear (I call it spawning). You can get them into your dream. This could end up being shared. |

Human consciousness and dreams are a process of the brain, the brain is an organ, the same as the heart or stomach. |

Like mentioned, I can call someones name and if they wish can come into my dream, if allowances where given to do so. |

Personally, I'm normally just as cynical. But how can two people have the exact same dream and interact with each other? If you want "biological" proof, shared dreams are commonly found in twins. Since twins are biologically the same, they share the same brain waves. If those brain waves "tuned in" to each other and intermingled, isn't it possible that one's consciousness could enter another's? |

Yeah, I've done this quite by accident. What i did was, i dreamt i was floating above the person as they were sleeping. then i kind of fell into their dream. That led to one of the most longest dreams i've ever had. |

Look I'm sorry, it's just I've read a lot of ridiculous things in BD but that really takes the cake (second only to someone who thought their cat could astral plane). So sorry, it was a bit rude of me I s'pose. |

Yeah it certainly would be amazing to discover any one of those phenomena I listed were possible. It would open up a whole new exciting realm to explore. And for me personally, well, it would give me hope of seeing my lost loved one again. Ah 'tis wonderful to dream... |

Just because you don't agree with it doesn't make it untrue. I firmly believe we are more than just chunks of flesh. I have seen too much evidence that has convinced me otherwise. If I believed there was nothing other than a brief life in this physical body I might as well kill myself now and be done with it... It's better to die than to live without hope... |

I don't have an experience that felt like another human. |

Here's hoping that this thread doesn't lead to a generation of dream murderers. XD |

Sadly, that's all I remember. It was non-lucid, aside from the fact that my behavior indicated I must have known at some level. |

Nope. Human consciousness is an electromagnetic field. |

I can prove that he doesn't because last night I broke into his dream and offed him. |

Ah, the teleological argument. |

Though this argument does seem rather logical and reasonable, I realize now that it brings about another question. The rose thorn bugs Mr. Dawkins depicted have an ingenious way of protecting themselves from predators. However, I asked myself during that segment; how did the bugs know what a rose thorn looked like? It seems a silly question, but think about it. Is it probable or logical that those bugs saw a rose, realized that the thorns protected it from being eaten, and remembered it for millions of years as it shaped itself into a thorn? Natural selection is actually another aspect of chance, when you comtemplate the basis for it. A species spontaneously mutates. That mutation helps it survive. The ones that don't mutate can't survive well and die out. Wash, rinse, repeat. That mutation only happened by chance, and it just happened to help the being. While I see your reasons supporting your theory, and understand them, it's astronomically imperceivable that one thing leading to another could end up with bacteria evolving into the thousands of different lifeforms we have today. Also, if the bacteria evolved because of natural selection, because the mutations allowed them to survive, then why do we still have bacteria today? And where are the intermediate stages between the bacteria and humans? Plus, what created the bacteria in the first place? Natural selection has more holes in it than the creationist argument. |

I think you may want to do a bit more study into natural selection, as it's clear that you misunderstand some of the most vital aspects of it. But so did I for years, so it's completely understandable. |
