Thread: shared dream at the same time?

Some people believe that both dreamers would have to be dreaming at the same time for it to be a shareed dream, but some are of the opinion that time is non-linear, thus shared dreams can happen hours(sometimes longer) apart from each other.

Good question~

I' ve never had a shared dream. But speaking of time, here's what I think.
Everything is happening in a moment that is also an eternity. Time is just something we can percieve through and because of space. It doesn't really exist when it comes to energy.
And the energy you sent to each other is what matters here. I believe you did connect somehow, but hey, like I said, I've never had a shared dream (or at least I think so...).
Really interested in replies to your question from someone experienced!

does the time you have a shared dream have to match up?
or the intention to have them have to be there?

thanks,

Funny you post this, because I had a dream similar to yours, (the river one in Hawai'i) but my dream was a few days ago. I just saw this post after I posted in your DJ.

No, the time does not have to match up. I have had shared lucid dreams with Raven Knight when she was already awake.

The intention does not even have to be there to have a shared dream. We share dreams with people all the time. Intention helps with frequency, lucidity, and recognition of the other people, though.

Any chance you could post both your dream and that other person's dream here? I've been studying shared dreams for awhile and those kinds of diffs are are common place. But I could use all the examples I can get.

waking nomad, do you think some people are naturally more likely to resonate with certain others? soulmates being the most extreme form perhaps but kindred spirits abounding in all sorts of places?

Okay, here's the text

red = thoughts, comments
blue = lucid

From Ivan, in NYC: (who has never had an LD and wasn't really trying as far as I knew... until i read this)

I *almost* had a lucid dream last night.....though I wasn't "trying" to.
I dreamt it was my 100th birthday. There was a lot of internal mental activity - thoughts, emotions, judgments, etc.

I noticed I was still working for XYZ, and was sort of wondering why, though apparently I was enjoying it. But I was wondering how I got to be 100 "all of a sudden" and why I still hadn't done some of the stuff I really want to do like EO, traveling, being more in nature.... and I noticed I was pretty tired, not like sleepy, just feeling worn out or used up. I was surprised that I had as much energy as I did but was definitely feeling regretful that all I'd done right up to the age of 100 was work.

It felt like I was right on the border of recognizing that I was dreaming. There was a great amount of detail; there was a lot of internal dialog, the colors were vivid, and the setting was pretty implausible. It feels now like it would have been a short step to saying hey this is a dream...

and from me:

8:00 AM: I was in Hawaii, showing someone around, and pointing out this gorgeous coastline that I had fondly loved myself. We even watched some stallions or wild horses racing into the ocean, and frolicking there. It was breathtakingly beautiful. Then I ran into some friends of mine rafting down the river, later on in the same dream. I was feeling sad that I was not living permanently in Hawaii perhaps communally with my friends. Everything looked so familiar but I was so sad that I didn't live here, and suddenly I went lucid and realized I could go lucidly rafting and enjoy the experience even more. I was enjoying this exhilarating thrill of going down a raft in the rapids in Hawaii - it was so exhilarating and I was really happy- this is what life is all about! I read my hands a few times to stay lucid, but eventually the dream faded...


what i didn't say in the writeup was i was really frustrated at not having lived my life fully. Feeling true emotional pain. That's when i said "eff it", the time is now, I'm hopping on that raft and going for it and living my life fully!!! .... and .... that's when Ivan woke up. Same emotional frustration noted in both cases.

This is something that I would call a synchronicity, but not a shared dream, as in your two emotions were synching up, and the lucidity. I have had a lot of synchronicities with quite a few people on DV. Some people have dreams similar to my waking life experiences and vice versa. Recently I had a dream of vomiting dark energy, and someone close to me was so upset that same night, she felt like she was going to puke.

You have to come visit me in Hawai'i! Oh, by the way check out the DJ of cygnus. He focuses on visiting a beach every night in dreams as his source of power.

This dream was pretty vivid. Especially the rafting part =D.
I was in my school. Hanging out with a group of people I don't normally hang out with. I tripped () and fell into the wall. All of a sudden we were in a secret passage. It wasn't really that dark. There was a rafting guide looking person standing by an AWESOME river. Moving fast. I dont remember getting in a raft but suddenly I was in a raft. (orange I think?) and we were rafting! it was so awesome. I dont remember the feeling of getting wet though. The bell rang and I was suddenly alone in the hallway. I went to get one of my friends to show her the secret passage before class started. She ended up dissapearing and I found myself in ANOTHER secret passage with the same people. I was sitting on a comfortable chair and I was in a lounge type are. It had bookcases and look just likes a lounge. We talked (forgot about what) and then once the bell rang I got worried that I had missed a class that I was supposed to be at. The emotion woke me up.

Is that a question or a statement? Yes, absolutely. Often these people have been our family members or lovers in past lives. Also, we have the same soul-type.

Here's an example: have you ever noticed that some people have pointed ears when you look at them head-on? These are elves.
