Shared Dreaming - How to find other people when lucid!

**Man of Shred** · 03-02-2010 12:30 AM

The Essence technique

The main way to find real people when you are lucid involves changing dreams at will. Different people have different methods for this. Naiya uses a TARDIS, Raven Knight opens portals with music, and I voice my intent to change dreams.

I once found a white Owl while Lucid. I had a feeling it had to do with someone i knew. I voiced my intent to follow it and It led me to one of the most vivid lucid dreams I have ever had.

If both people are intending to dream together they might wind up in the same dream spontaneously!

Once you are lucid: Use your feeling of the person. Everyone in dreaming has a unique energy signature you can recognise them by. It is a subtle feeling of simply knowing THAT person IS that PERSON, no matter how they may appear to you.

Once you have this feeling of the person. Focus that feeling to change dreams and the dream you wind up in will be that persons.

ex from me and Raven knight.

My dream: Dream 4: I was playing a Sonic the Hedgehog video game. And i discovered a glitch. I thought it was cool so i ran out of the house and found Mark75 to tell him about it.

for some reason I got mark to follow me to show him the glitch. But when we arrived Raven Knight had taken his place. She followed me into my house and we were talking a little bit. Her face was hidden behind some sort of white hood. she stopped me and said that i should look at her. She pulled the hood away and revealed her face. I was staring at a child like face that seemed young. but all her hair was white or grey. It was kind of strange. She asked what i had thought... I just said it was nice to finally get to see her.

Her dream:
I focused on using Through the Never to open a portal to find R. A portal opened. Nomad and I went through the portal. On the other side we were in a neighborhood. We were just outside a house. There was a man there. He went over to Nomad. He told Nomad that there was something he needed to show him. I wondered if that was R and he was already lucid. Nomad and I both followed R into the house. He went over to his computer, which was doing something strange. R turned towards me now and looked a bit surprised.

"Raven?" he asked, "I thought you were Mark."

"Who?" I asked. Had he thought Nomad was someone named Mark? Apparently he recognized me, though.

"Can I see your face?" R asked. I realized I was dressed as an Assassin from Assassin's Creed. I pulled my hood away from my face so he could see it more clearly. He stared at me for a bit. I asked him what he saw. I wondered if he saw me the way I picture myself or if he had a different image. He stared a bit more and then disappeared. I pulled a Homer "D'Oh!" at the fact he had disappeared. I turned towards Nomad. He was also gone. I pulled a double Homer. ("D'Oh, D'Oh!") Now I felt like I was about to wake up. I barely got off my triple Homer ("D'Oh, D'Oh, D'Oh!") before I woke up.

You can also use a variation on the meeting place. Once you are lucid. Change dreams and go to the meeting place.

Another VERY Important thing: Guides!

Extra dimensional Entities, spirits of the deceased, Totem animals, and Higher (lighter) Density beings... Some are good, some are Evil. So pick your guides wisely. Some have been with your entire life and are simply waiting for you to acknowledge that they are there. Some you can find using the Above Essence technique. getting a few of them is handy, each one has something unique to offer. They serve as a voice in dreams and also a voice in your thoughts in waking life.

Sometimes All i need to do before bed is to pick a person or a subject to dream about. I do this by briefly thinking it, or writing it down. Then the next night or in a few days I WILL have a dream about that person or subject which I selected. often when this happens, in my dream, my guide will be right beside me. This works lucid or not!

**Man of Shred** · 03-16-2010 01:56 AM

**johoiada** · 03-16-2010 02:04 AM

**redisreddish** · 03-16-2010 02:06 AM

Thank you! This is helpful. Me and some friends were actually thinking about trying to all have a shared dream together. I'll use this, and tell them about it!

**Man of Shred** · 03-16-2010 02:59 AM

It's harder than it sounds lucid guy.

Cool Red isreddish! Don't be afraid to come me a dream visit every now and again.

Joh- Yes sometimes the other person remembers the same dream you've had. Look up Waking nomads Shared Dreaming journal.

**johoiada** · 03-16-2010 03:07 PM

so how would i go about contacting the person? becuase last night i had a lucid and i found my brother whom i had planned to contact. so upon finding him i told him that it was a dream and that he was dreaming and he said that he knew he was dreaming so i told him that he could do anything he wanted and i ran and jumped down the hill attempting to fly i glided for about 15 yards then floated to the ground on my stomach. then he said "that was more gliding than flying"

so did i do that right or do we both have to plan on a meeting place and meet eachother there?

That's what I wrote this tutorial for. Or, if you mean how to contact them in waking life? There are tons of dreamers here. Some are into the shared dreaming. PM a few people that talk about it here and set something up, Especially if you really like their dreams.

Was his behavior consistent with how you know him to act? Sounds like you met him in a dream! My whole family shares dreams with me but they aren't aware of it... But I AM!

A meeting place helps. Waking Nomad and Raven Knight, Two DVers that really brought forth the concept of shared dreaming on this forum, and it's potential, Use a meeting place most often the moon! If you set up Shared dreaming with someone. Pick a meeting place, a beach, your house, or you could use your imagination.

**Kraftwerk** · 03-16-2010 08:18 PM

I have a question, Would it be possible to visit someone in their dream? Not make them lucid, but instead just talk to them on a deeper level?

**The Silver Bullet** · 03-16-2010 09:02 PM

Thanks for posting that tutorial man, I'll have to show my friend this.

So is it necessary to look and review someones DJ before you attempt sharing dreams or is that just optional to see if their dreams interest you? I was wondering because I was debating whether or not if I should start posting my DJ on DV soon.

**Man of Shred** · 03-16-2010 10:47 PM

before... during after.. Having a DJ is important with you and the other person. It's always good to compare notes. Reading their DJ is oprion before hand... but it helps develop a feel for that person. Sometimes they match Up closely sometimes they don't as much except for key events. I'll give an example of a shared dream I had with someone.

Stuck up BEOTCH!

I'm a teenager walking into a teen singles event. It's like a bar but it's just for teens. I spot the asian girl with glasses that i saw in the corridor dream but she is older. I walk up to her and start talking to her. she says "Not now... go talk to that girl over there."

Sitting by herself is a blond girl with brown eyes. She's the same girl i had a dream about a week ago. In that dream she told me she was going downtown to meet a new friend who was recently pregnant. they were supposed to support each other. But in this current dream i forget all this. I join her. We both say some things i can't recollect. she then says "I like fast men and sorry buddy, you're not it." I say something which i forget. She then says "When i saw you come in I noticed you were looking aroudn the room looking for people to talk to."

I think Is she fucking serious? she's giving me shit for going to a singles event to go find someone to talk to? isn't that how most relationships and friendships start?

I leave the table flustered. The Asian girl walks up to me and says "wow, she never gave you a chance..." The blond girl then goes and sits with a group of guys. I spot nomad off to the side. I don't know it's him but he looks like a teenager also. I approach the group. "Listen up guys!" I say. "Is it a crime to talk to people here?" they all shake their heads except the blond girl. "I mean, why does anyone go to a place like this?, or a writers club or an AA meeting for that matter." By now I notice I am leaning into the blond girl staring directly at her eyes. I notice I am making her uncomfortable so I back up a few steps and put my hands up in the air as if to say that I'm give her space. I straighten myself out and continue. "They go to these places to talk to people!"

Nomad thinks for a moment and says "Holy shit man! That's so true!"

Excerpt from the other person's journal:

Just so happens there's a toilet outside the door. I plop down on it and try to do my business but a tall, skinny guy strolls up. He wears one of those little hats like the riddler. It even has a question mark on it. He asks me where the heroes are. I pretend I don't know what he's talking about. He leans right down in to my face and stares into my eyes. His eyes are maddeningly familiar but I can't place who he is. He stands up and leaves. He sends his henchwoman to finish me off. She's a rocker chick with a huge electric guitar. She's supposed to use it's vibrations to make my brain explode (I remember that from articles I read in the past) but when she strums the guitar it sends vibrations up through the toilet bowl. Instead of killing me the vibrations feel good. They're almost orgasmic. She plays harder, trying to kill me. It only makes the vibrations feel better. She eventually gets frustrated and leaves.

Kraftwerk: oh yes. Nomad and raven do it to me all the time.

**Kraftwerk** · 03-16-2010 11:04 PM

Ah, Excellent. There are a couple people I'd like to speak with, and hear them respond freely unlike They would in the waking life. I shall post my results here!

**The Silver Bullet** · 03-16-2010 11:34 PM

That was an interesting read Man of Shred. I take it that the more you practice sharing dreams with someone then the more your dreams will match up?

I guess I need to start putting my DJ entries online soon then, although a lot of my dreams are really weird.
