Shared Dreaming

[akukei]

Just a quick question about shared dreaming.. Is it possible to have a non-lucid shared dream? Or is being lucid nesecarry to have such a thing. Thanks! -Akukei

Well, if shared dreams are possible, then I don't see any reason why you should have to be lucid in order to have them. I think the only reason for lucidity is that it allows you to think a little more clearly and to devise ways to verify the experience when it is over. You know, passing off key phrases with the person. I've tried to dream share now for quite a few years without much success. One of my dear friends has experienced it one time, but she is kind of special and really attuned to the spiritual.

Just a quick question about shared dreaming.. Is it possible to have a non-lucid shared dream? Or is being lucid nesecarry to have such a thing. Thanks! -Akukei [/b] My and my twin used to have shared dreams when we were younger. We would decide on a event/place ahead of time right as we would go to bed, but once we were in the dream they were non-lucid. I guess its kind of a form of shared MILD.

do u know why u and ur brother where in that dream,becous ur simular,u bought feel somethings simulary,like if u tell him to meet at "that" park,u'll give ur mind an order to go to that park or create it out of ur memory(make a dream realm in the astral realm,cinda like a multiplayer game),so u create it(and every place gives u a diferent feeling(like ppl do))and ur brother finds it subconcsly,becous he feels it simular to u,i'v heard the same twin story a milion time

I think that since we both only knew of one "park" or bowling alley in our lifetimes, we would both create the same image from memory and play off each others realm i guess (both contribute to it?) i dont know if only one of us created the "realm" and the other finds it self concsiouslly. It could be a very plausible type of infrence, but perhaps it could have been a collaborative effort in the creating. i regret that we stopped doing it, so that we could explore it more. We both sleep in the same dorm, but i wonder if our experiences are so differently shaped now that we wouldnt be as in tune as we once were. Plus he doesnt like to attempt LD because he thinks his dreams are to be interpreted rather than manipulated. I once read this thing online that twin have some type of mind connection called the (z-factor? or something like that) and that its similar to when one animals sees danger, and the others can pick up on that vibe, or how a mother usually knows when her children are in danger. If you have any other questions on our experiences dont be afraid to ask, ill try my best to explain it to you. If you have/could find any info on that z-factor too id really be interested

it is possible i have had one, i had a dream that he was telling me about the dream he had that night...and he told me his dream in the mourning and i was shocked, but he couldnt remember telling me about his dream...

Leo Volont had a non lucid (I think) shared dream a long time ago.

[Insanebychoice]

Shared dreaming is cool, i believe i've had shared dreams, but of course many people in my life never remember dreaming. They are not in tune (and don't care to be) with that side of themselves. I've been crusing this sight for awhile and saying little, but, if anyone can point me in the direction of a website like this one, for people who believe they are telepathic, empathic, clarvoyant, etc. and are willing to talk about it, i'd be very thankful. This website is great! but, i do feel i would enjoy something more then "Beyond Dreaming" and being able to talk to the actual believers and doers would be great. If you have these abilities then you have to admit that 98% of society believes that you are crazy and only 2% have to deal with it.

this isn't hollywood man,this isn't some abillity only i or "that guy" can do,we bought have the same abillity becous we have the body that works the same way,most ppl can feel what others are thinking,but they see it as coincedents... about the "Z-factor",when my brother is thinking something i start thinking about it 2,just before i start so sing a song(inside) he starts before....thats wierd and,about D shareing,if that bowling aly was only a memory,then it clouden't be a shared dream,everyplace in the univers has it's "feel"(feel-how ur brain recodnises it)and u and ur brother where feeling it so it was posible for u to meet,if u saw only a memory of it,it wloud have been a normal dream,if u didn't understand what i wanted to say ask what u didn't understand k?

[/b] There is lots of things some people can do that other can't. I can swim, others can't. I can read others can't. Some people can do double back flips, I can't. I can 'lucid dream', lots of people don't even know what that is and never will. Maybe the ability to 'lucid dream' or go 'beyond dreaming' is innate, but, most people don't believe it exists and would never try to train their minds to so such things. I know i can't win a gold at the omlypics for figure skating. I'm very sure it's to late to start training for that at this late stage in my life. Also I have no will to become a figure skater. Just like most people have no will to be psychic or a very well practised dreamer.

My Grandmother and Mother have both had the same dream once

[Leo Volont]

I had had a Shared Dream. I was a hungry college student close to 5 decades ago, and dreamt of raiding the University Cafeteria. I started at Line 5 toward the back door and progressed toward Line 1. Outside of Line 2 I met Anne, a friend of mine who I had met at another friend's, Violet's, soirees. We were both pleased to see each other and we asked each other what we each had found. I told her that there was there was nothing on Lines 5, 4 and 3, and she told me that there were puddings out on Line 1. We both checked out Line 2 together and found nothing. Then we separated. It was not a lucid dream. As far as each of us knew, we thought we were actually raiding the Cafeteria and did not suspect that we were dreaming, until after we awoke... still hungry. The next day, about halfway through the morning we met in a crowded hallway, and both of us smiled, because we remembered having dreamed of the other... thinking it something of a secret. But when each of us saw the other smile, then it became odd. Then WE BOTH SAID SIMULTANEOUSLY "I HAD A DREAM WITH YOU LAST NIGHT". And then, also simultaneously so that one was not leading and the other merely agreeing, we both -- remember... at the same time -- told our half of the story. Every detail meshed. She said she was raiding the cafeteria and had came in the front door and had already checked Line 1 where she saw some puddings set out, and then she had met me out infront of Line 2... blah blah blah. Now, it would be impossible for that to have been some elaborate coincidence. Also, I should mention that back in the 11th Century, there was a Sufi Order that was given the Contract of maintaining instant Dream Communication among every major metropolis and captital throughout the Muslim Caliphate -- from Spain to Delhi. They would pass detailed communications in their dreams, and verify with letters sent by diplomatic pouch. Of course, the letters had to match the dreams or the program was useless, but the letters kept the Program honest and accountable. it may seem incredable that somebody could ever pull such a program together, but remember all it would take was One Great Sufi Master who could find a way to monitor the Dream Realms -- The Collective Consciousness -- for the most talented Dreamers.. find out who they are, and then send them a Letter of Invitation to a very well paid Career Opportunity. I wonder that nobody has been able to do the same Today.

Me and my mother have a special bond, and it also works with other people. We both know by instinct really, what someone is going to say, or how things will play out, before they happen. We can ussually see whats on someone's mind with out saying anything. Its very odd. For example... when I was 5 I believe... -- actually, heres a better example just before I say anything. My mom told me this story that Im about to tell you, JUST as I remembered it. We were talking about Lucid Dreaming, and the Paranormal, and then I remembered this, and then SHE told the story a second before I was going to. Anyway, when I was 5, I was just sitting there, it was probably about 8:00pm. Me and my mom always used to play "I Spy." It was my favourite game as a kid. Then, we hadnt played it in months and I completely forgot about it. Then I remember asking "Mommy, can we play I Spy?" and seeing a weird look on her face. Then when I remembered this, I remembered I had a weird feeling. Anyway, I had never mentioned it, but when I was finnally going to, my mom tells the story. She said that she was just laying there and thought to her self "Ya know... we havnt played I Spy in a while" and then not 2 seconds later, I asked if we could play. We both seem to have this odd ability with others too. Its kinda like a form of ESP I guess you could say.

Then i spent the next 20 years studying and training my mind to develop greater things then just hunches or those two seconds shared between two individuals of "ahh that was neet". The dark corners of your mind can be a scary place. Thoose aren't your own "personal demons" WAKE UP!!! thoose are real demons. Seriously I ain't lying, they exist.

They say that twins are tuned into each other, but i'm not a great believer in anything like this

[Nikolaa]

the same thing is whit my brother

[Kazahel]

I'm a twin but I dont know if I ever really shared any dreams with my sister. But I know for sure that I have shared dreams with my son(or it really seems that way). He is only five and I've been looking after him full time since he was born.. like I'm the house dad, so we are very close. Anyway we have dreamt a few times now very similar things on the same night. I've been trying to teach him to lucid dream and just to be aware of his dreams and to tell me about them etc.. Anyway.. The first time, I asked him what he dreamt(I always ask him before I tell him anything about mine) and he told me that he was fighting with a man on a boat and that I was there. I cant remember what else my son said now but I remember being kinda shocked because I had had a nightmare the same night, and in my nightmare I was fighting a guy at night on a boat. I dont really dream that kind of dream very much either so the timing was really good for him to dream something so similar. The next time we seemed to dream the same, I asked him what he dreamt and he said that he had dreamt that we were driving around stopping to spray paint the walls red. It was because of a game called The Warriors on PS2.. he said we were driving around doing red W's everywhere.. Anyway I dreamt on the very same night that I was driving around in the BF2(its a game)environment stopping every now and then so that my partner(soldier) could paint the walls red. Like I had to cover him as he painted the walls. I know that because we have both seen the game you could say it was just from that except that we hadnt actually played that game for a few weeks and it wasnt like it was on our minds. We had moved on anotherwords and were playing starwars and BF2 or something and it wasnt like we were drawing red W's before bed you know. It was amazing timing if it was just from the weeks before. But what really stood out for me was that in my dream I had to lookout for the soldier spray painting the walls red while in his dream he had to spray paint the walls red while I was a lookout for him.. in his dream we were dressed normally though he said. So yeah I believe its possible but you might have to be a special someone to each other.

[the real pieman]

So yeah I believe its possible but you might have to be a special someone to each other.[/b] i dont believe that because everyone i have had a shared dream with i dont know too well, only as good aquaitances... but i suppose the bond is stronger when you are wtih someone "special"...

[Kazahel]

i dont believe that because everyone i have had a shared dream with i dont know too well, only as good aquaitances... but i suppose the bond is stronger when you are wtih someone "special"... [/b] Yeah I put in the 'might' because I dont know for sure.. I'm just guessing because I've only dreamed like that with my son so far.. and we are pretty close. So yeah..

[icuurd12b42]

I'm pretty sure it happens sometimes. Being on the same wavelength might help. That Warriors game, well, I played it. Man what dreams it created. I’ve had a few possibly shared dreams. One, I am 98% sure it was shared. http://www.dreamviews.com/forum/index.php?...st&p=328350

[Kazahel]

Cool read hey. I remembered the other one I had which I'm pretty sure was shared. I had it written down on another site(with other dreams)but the site got hacked and I lost them all. But anyway I rememberd today because I knew there was another one with my son.. I dreamt that I was walking through my house and someone had drawn red scribble all over the walls. It was everywhere and I could tell it was from a child because it was scribble. Anyway as I was walking through the house in shock looking at the walls, my son ran into me laughing because I remember almost tripping over him. I then asked him about the walls and he told me that he did it. I was almost lucid from when he bumped into me but I was too busy talking to him to really go anymore lucid. Anyway I just remember bending down to ask him about the walls and being relieved that it didnt matter and then soon after it went all bright and I woke up. Anyway I asked my son what he had dreamt(before telling him anything of mine) and he told me that he dreamt that he was running around the house drawing on all the walls. He said it was a funny dream and that I couldnt catch him or something and when I did, he said that I bent down and he kissed my nose and a fairy came out. We both dreamt it the same night and around the same time because we woke up and told each other our dreams straight away. It was also weird because in my dream it was early about the actual time that we wouldve been dreaming. So I dreamt I was walking around in the morning as the sun was getting up.. which kinda gave it a OBE kinda feel.

To have such positive proof through experience and corroboration. The only time I truly had that was with the girl in the post I linked. It did freak me out. I have another one, sexually related as well, where I had no control, making love with a co-worker. No direct corroboration though the girl did imply a few things and was angry at me (not telling me why) for a few months. Sometimes hinting about a dream she had, implying I should know the dream she‘s talking about. Anyway. I talked about that one somewhere on this site.

[Kazahel]

I think I had another shared dream last night with my son.. I wrote all this out before..lol.. but I thought I might post it because you's might find it interesting. Anyway.. In the morning my son came in to wake me up and so I asked him what he dreamt last night. I asked him without telling anything of my dreams while I was thinking about this dream I'd had. Anyway my son said he dreamt that he was a big shark, and that there was a big t-rex in the ocean which was so big it's feet were touching the ground but its head was still out of the water. He said he was eating the t-rex's feet first because the head could still bite so he started there and ate him all up. Then he said he ate a scuba diver up too. So I asked him if it was night time or day time and he said it was dark after he had eaten the t-rex. Anyway I dreamt last night that I was in the ocean(had fallen from a boat I think)with another person who I didnt know but was a friend. The light was just fading and the water was getting pretty dark and scary and when I looked down I saw one of the biggest sharks I've ever seen. It swam right under my feet(like almost touching them) and it was just huge(like a whale size almost).. Anyway the person next to me started to get eaten by his feet and he was screaming and I was panicking and didnt go lucid at all and was just trying to figure out how to survive. Anyway I started to swim away because I thought maybe if I got far enough away the shark would only eat him. But I felt kinda bad because he was a friend and I thought its probably going to get me too, so I turned around with the intention to try to punch the shark in the head while he was eating so maybe I could scare it off. Anyway my friend got eaten quickly and I was just left floating in the water waiting for my turn.. I dont actually remember getting eaten.. it was like the dream ended there. I do have a vague memory of climbing onto a boat but I think that was a later dream.. I'm not sure. I had a few more dreams and one of someone wanting to skydive, but my last dream was of me jumping off a boat and onto the sand of the shore to which I just rolled on with my back like how a cat does.. stretching in the sun.. I was so happy to be on the shore I just rolled around infront of everyone for awhile like a crazy man which I could see they were thinking but it was only because I was so happy to be on the shore. So yeah.. it was pretty trippy because I dont dream of swimming in the ocean with sharks very often, and it was the first time I think my son has ever dreamt he was a feeding shark. So for us to both dream those dreams the same night spun me out. I think I mustve been the scuba diver which got eaten after he ate my friend which in his dream was the t-rex which I guess he got from his t-rex teddy bear he slept with last night.. But I'm not sure if I got eaten or not.. I did make it to shore later so yeah.. either way it was a scary dream and all day I've just been thinking how my son(5yr)dreamt that he was a shark.. I mean.. omg.. he was bigger than me when I dreamt I was a shark once. Anyway it was nice timing or something for sure, and I feel like I'm a proud father kinda because I shifted to the shark maybe a year ago now... but he is only five years old.. So I was impressed.. and pretty bloody scared during my dream. lol It's like all day I've been thinking .. you little devil to scare me like that.

[Skywalk3r]

I have shared a dream before... It was with my ex-girlfriend. But I think it was her dream landscape that I travelled to because the dream was about someone in her family having a birthday. This phenomenon is strange indeed, and I can't say I would believe in it if I hadn't experienced it myself without ever hearing about the theory. As far as telepathy... if anyone here watches the Sci-Fi channel, and has seen the Ghost Hunters series, they had scientific evidence of an old man doing a psychic reading... It was with a Thermal camera.. It was freaking AWESOME! The camera went kind of wacko for a moment when the old man began reading Jason's energy, then you saw physical heat leaving J's body and entering the old mans hand, as he was doing the reading and telling Jason about his life as a child and growing up on a farm. And after the old man was finished reading, he threw the energy into the ground and J's Aura returned to normal... Amazing piece of video..
